can someone suggest anything? iv put WD40 round the spark plugs and the HT circuit

it did this the other day aswell, had to bump start it.
It is mostr likely the distributor cap and rotor arm . try and buy genuine if you can they are so much better than cheap no name ones , even then their life span is only around 2 years ... next thing ,i would look at the coil ...
Get a hot air blower and dry off cthe outside of the cap and leads , and also undo the cap and look inside ..
