ill pull the plugs out and give them a clean and see what happens. when you rev the car it sounds as if something is vibrating its 3 quite loud noises as soon as you rev it plus its began to have a pretty strong smell of fumes from the exhaust aswell now

Unburnt fuel is entering the exhaust, definitely missing. Broken cam shaft me thinks.........

it is then depends if you want to buy new, check scrappies. It is only an idea, only way to deff tell is to remove the rocker cover.
