Something to do with the exhaust i'd imagine, are there any holes in it/is it on properly?

True, but surely it would be losing power if it was only on 3 cylinders.

My 1.2 8v used to do this on cold mornings sometimes or when there was alot of surface water on roads. Usually related to HT leads or if you've gotten alot of water on an open cone induction kit. Quick spray of wd40 helps the ht leads, I shouldve changed them really
