Sounds like ignition problems to me. A basic 'tune up' is a good place to start, air filter, distributor cap, rotor, plugs and HT leads. Get yourself a Haynes manual and some basic tools and you can do it yourself in under an hour. Your oil is also well past due for a change (every six months), this is also not too difficult to DIY. Your fuel filter is also due for a change.
Find yourself a decent garage or learn to DIY. There is nothing on a 240, including the fuel injection system, that any competent mechanic should not be able to sort out.
