Right well I'm going to update this.
Driven it once since Ace last month and just as i was nearing home, it started misfiring again
Got back on to Omex and have to say, they just can't be more helpful. Guy took loads of time to go over everything with me and then offered to take the ECU back for testing and possible repair. He tested it and was fine, phoned me and i told him it was only after long drives so he put it back on test all day at maximum coil dwell and still couldnt get it to fail. He replaced the coil driver anyway and sent it back to me all free of charge. Has also given me a few things to try (although being intermittent, its a PITA to diagnose) and has offered to help with other issues and diagnose the fault even if its not ECU related.
Anyway, i ordered some new spark plugs as it spent a fair amount of time misfiring which doesn't do plugs too much good!

Not great but its what i expected bearing in mind the missfiring. Car is much happier on the new plugs but still got a slight miss! (only warmed it up on the drive).
Im going to try a second coil pack to see if i ended up with a bad one, ordered a new CPS and after that lot, I'm going to start looking for loom faults again. Tempted to borrow a multi tester from work and IR test it.
Gutted this won't be going to the xmas meet tomorrow. Really missing driving it and the smile it puts on my face!
