check for oil in plug wells pull one of the spark plug leads out to see if any oil in plug wells,could be cam cover gaskets,

or have you been using home made fuel, would say to the plugs or dis pack has a crack init, or even the spark plug leads.

It could be autobox?

started the car this morning,started fine,five minutes later the tickover started doing all sorts of things,now she's running as rough as a robbers dog,no oil in plug wells,is there any way of testing the dis pack or is it just trial and error?

i'd start with a plug and ht lead change first 

alot less hassle and cheeper 

if you go down the coil pack route, you might find that when you get the tinker out, the underside of it will be starting to rust !  if so then its knackerd
