In short there was a mixture of old bremi and 1 new bosch coils so I changed them all for new bosch ones (£17ea ebay). The plugs were well worn ngk dual electrode ones so I changed them for a full set of ngk iridium ones (£38 per set ebay).
The car now starts and idles so much smoother, unbelievably more I'd say. It's super smooth on the road too. It's not been this smooth to drive since I bought it. NO pinking either 
Just a pointer if anyone else is or does in the future experience slight pinking, MAYBE try this first  |
Well done Sir
Could U forward the eBay link to the NGK spark plugs please.
