Update:
I'm still no further forward with this annoying problem.
The journey to Shropshire at the weekend seemed ok but the journey back bacame steadily worse the further I travelled, particularly after ascending a steep 1.5 mile hill (Fish Hill at Broadway). Curiously I had made the same ascent of this local hill during the previous day with no problems.
The difference between this journey and the previous day was that the car had now been running for a lot longer (from Shropshire) and I was using heater fan and lights as it was getting dark - this was the exact same situation a month or so earlier when I nearly didnt get home at all.
Anyway, after the hill, the engine coughed and spluttered more and more. I briefly pulled over and tried recycling the ignition but it made no difference
I also tried slamming my foot hard down on the throttle - the engine would stutter badly before accelerating through the rev range.
I did get home but the car wasn't happy at all.
No warning lights and no codes.
Talking with a colleague at work the next day, he seemed to think there should be some kind of amplifier for controlling the coil-packs and thought it would be that - but I have never heard of these being mentioned in any fault-finding discussions on here.

Thanks Kirkynut.
Well it's turned out to be not good news
I caught up with an old RAF colleague of mine who was always a bit of an ace with electrics and he went over a whole load of tests.
His code reader found "random multiple misfire detected" and on further investigation found the front O2 sensor reading a high voltage indicating a rich mixture.
He routinely went through the plugs coil packs and HT leads and found them all acceptable, so went on with a compression test which gave the following results:
#1 Cyl 9.75 Bar (141.4118 psi)
#2 Cyl 8 Bar (116.03 psi)
#3 Cyl 9 Bar (130.534)
#4 Cyl 9.75 Bar (141.4118 psi)
So he thinks there is a good chance that there are burnt out exhaust valves on 2 & 3
