Flat Spot Diagnostic help

[Jambo]

So my dad was driving my car last week and he reckoned it was worse than before and that it had a bit of a flat spot and felt a bit sluggish at between 10-40 but then picked up after i hadnt noticed so probably got worse over time, u guessed it too it IS a 1.4

Any ideas?

It's gonna be electrical. Best bet would be to get a full service. Unfortunately, in this type of weather any weakness in a car will be magnified.

My housemates Rover is was doing the same thing last week and that's been diagnosed as timing.
