    Ignition. Could be the vacuum/mechanical advance mechanism not returning to where it should be.
    Cheers,

    Ok they have a GEMS with direct ignition.
    A common problem is a coil drooling and dying, so have a close look at the coils. Any gooey stuff on the outside is bad..
    They have quite a big stepper motor,so it should regulate the idle.
    I would look at the coil pack, wires or plugs.
    The other common problem is the crankshaft position sensor dying.
    Hope you are sitting down when you get the quote.
    regards Philip A

    PS surely you have error codes coming up all over the place.
    Someone with a Rovercom lite should be able to isolate the problem area.
