I put in exactly how i took it off...

Well a knackered coil pack could give you poor running, unusual, but happens. Don't know how much tho'.

Just scouted on ebay, brand new one £40, couple of used ones on for 5 & 6 quid.

Here's what you want: Coil Pack & A cheap new one!

Its been running like a dog for abit but suddenly got worse then 3rd day died.

Electrical gremlins like that can throw you off what is at fault, so are difficult too trace until you change the right component or, like you, it fails.

However have a look at the links I posted above & price them at your local motor factors too.

Just think of the sense of achievement when you turn the key 2moz & it bursts into life, no payment to any garage!

That's exactly my point, you're confidence to tackle these simple jobs will increase. Servicing a car of this genre is simple, so long as you treat the car with respect & be safe when you work under it.

I learnt by being thrown in at the deep end by a mechanic friend who refused to work on my motor & said I had to learn to do it myself, learnt loads from it. Tho' have got a bit rusty, getting back into it at the mo!

just stick a 20v in it no probs just keep checkin the oil !!!!
