do a compression test if it the motor running doesn't get better
All fuel, air and spark related components now tested and all working fine.

After some time of running it's now cleared itself up - assuming water in somewhere as I replicated the problem after cleaning the engine bay with all the same systems and same timeline to clear up.

HOWEVER, now I have an overheating problem after doing a radiator flush and radiator cap change. Off to check the thermo and water pump...

In my next post, I'll start listing the things i'd rather be doing over the Christmas break

Thanks for the help so far!
Thanks for the pointers!
