sounds like there is a missfire somewhere, check to see if sparkplugs are sparking

plugs are VERY sooty already checked them. i cleaned them etc but theyre new plugs.

Leds have no damage to thema at all either.

I drove it home from newcastle t'other day fine :( AWhat could make it misfire? Dizzy knackered? but how would it feck up on a 100 mile journey?
