I have tried several times to correct the jerky running by changing fuel filter and plugs etc which sometimes temporaly corrects the fault but returns to jerky running later. Regards Ken

By jerky running do you mean misfires ? If so i would go straight to changing the coils and leads - however as said there is a T4 operator near you so head there to get a definitive answer. Also as suggested by Simon suggested do you have the orange/white clip on the fuel filter -the later petrol filters tend to separate leading to non starts or fuel starvation and poor running - if no clip fitted suggest you get one - they cost A few pounds and can save a shedload of grief .  hence their original nickname -"fabled orange clip" or FOC.
