Surely this isn't sounding like symptoms of dry tappets anymore??
Yes I agree Rhys and I think you should try to organise an alternative vehicle for your work. In your shoes I'd be removing the camshaft cover to have a look.

It's hard to explain the burning smell unless it's your clutch complaining at climbing the hill in first. Regarding the engine cutting out, has it done this before, I can't remember? As Colvert says, it's worth checking that the fuel filter is tight. Please read the advice though not to separate the two parts.
