@Nuisanceneighbour - Thanks - 185 quid is what I have been quoted as main agent only.
At the risk of being premature, I am now optimistic that the problem is fixed.
Since replacing the plugs and swapping the coil packs around, the problem has gone. I have given it a fairly brisk test drive, driving around 25 miles in 3 seperate small journeys since yesterday afternoon and it's been perfect. Just checked for codes again and there are none except for the lambda's.
The gap on the new plugs was 0.30 whereas, due to wear no doubt, the old ones were between .45 and .50, so I left them as they were out the box.
I am going to take it in to the specialist Tuesday anyway, so that the state of the cats and possible replacement of the lambda's can be assessed.
But so far, so good....
