I would say the HT leads need replacing. I had a set once that looked like new but just one of them was knackered. I found out by servicing the car with new plugs and leads etc. Don't be fooled thinking that because they look new they are working Mate. Pity you don't know someone close by who can swap there leads over one by one to eliminate these for you.

Rotor arm and dizzy cap has now been replaced still nothing. I have taken my distributor off now to change the hall sensor but now its off i might replace both.

I had exact same problem. I'd put money on the relays as said previously.
