ahhh well it didn't fix it for long... on the way back from work it started again.
Only seems to happen when the engine gets hot. Also I noticed when the bonnet is up and I give it some revs you can hear air escaping from somewhere in the engine bay... Strange
Hmmm, I've just taken the plugs out again and given them a clean (there was some grease on the top of one of them) Took it for a drive and the problem seems to have disappeared...

Cheers for the welcome all, wondering if fitting a set of standard clio alloys would affect my insurance or not? And what sizes would fit? Looking at the arches i reckon 15's would go in without too many problems? anyone done this? I think a membership is in order in that case ;)
