Ive learned that this car is quite sensitive to coils/plugs. NGK 7866 laser iridium plug is THE recommended plug. Airtex 5C1420 ignition coil is THE recommended coil. Slight and/or intermittent misfire can trigger lots of issues. Trans issues and catalytic converter issues (as a long term effect of unburned fuel from misfires) to name a couple.
I was in the same boat, looking at ebay coils and I decided to just bite the bullet with Airtex.

Hi, this has had all 6 coils replaced, they were not the cheap ebay ones, still gave exactly the same symptoms afterwards so not sure its electrical.
I must admit I am looking to wither fuel itself or possibly a blocked exhaust as an issue.
Due to the lousy weather I've given up and booked it in with a specialist in Coventry, Cov Cats. I anyone has used them pray tell. If not I will give you feedback.
