i managed to get the car running again yesterday to see if it had changed its mind and wanted to start running fine again, it didn't.

i left it running for 5-10 minutes until the engine warmed up and this time i managed to be able to rev the car slightly without it cutting out, i could rev it up to about 1200rpm and it was still idling lumpy at about 800rpm.

i thought i would try and move the car by just using the clutch and this worked, i could have probably drove the car like this if i controlled the clutch properly and got it up to speed where the car would just pull itself along in first or reverse.

i have just raised more questions than answers to myself and this has totally got me baffled now.
