Sounds like your distributor cap has a big crack in it. Take the bugger off and have a good look at it.

UPDATE.. I called the AA out an he said the coil was'nt sparking so he got a red wire from the coil with a connecter an a seperate red wire from the battery an has a fuse an basically once you connect them the cars fine obviously i have to undo them when i park up an go through opening the bonnet an connecting them but its only a temp fix until i find the problem.

cant have been your coil; was the car idling ok?

it wouldnt even want to start if the coil was a goner!
