Problem finally solved with the help of JMH Automotive in Holmes Chapel.

It seems that it was a combination of faulty TDC sensor and heavily worn distributor cap and rotor.

I can thoroughly recommend JMH to anyone in Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire areas - very easy access from the M6 and a good train journey via Manchester or Crewe if you have to leave your car with them.

Oh, it will take more than that John to wipe the grin off my face now that I'm back on the road again!
