I'd check that the idle control valve isn't gummed up first.

The ICV would give the lumpy idle but not the jumpy acceleration. Coil pack or HT leads seems likely.

Cheers for your suggestions lads, I took it to the AA and they plugged it into a computer for free and it said that two of the spark plugs have failed.

They said they will be happy to replace plugs and leads on Monday mornin, for £60 so I'll see how that goes.

Best to use genuine Ford/Motorcraft plugs and leads on these engines.
