Most likely coil pack and or plugs on that engine,if it's not a failed pack you can get corrosion in the coil to plug contacts,
the other common issue is a leaking oil switch filling the wiring with oil,that can cause all sorts of problems.
I'd start with a visual check you may spot something obvious without the mechanic.
Thanks, i'll have look. Would it be ok to drive to a local garage thats under 2 miles away? don't want to cause any damage to engine. (i've no idea with this type of stuff)
Needs hooking up to a fault code reader to see if there are any fault codes coming up.
Guesswork was never a reliable form of diagnosing something.
