B*gger! lost no. 4 cylinder on the way home so it's sadly something internal. 
I'll have to get the top cover off over the weekend and see what I've lost/broken - is there anything that Jimny's are known to suffer from in this area?

Take all the plugs out and do a compression test first it also may have broken a rocker arm or dropped a valve snapped cam shaft
