Strange one this, It seems the electrical system is failing!

Once in a while....
1, the car fires up then dies, after a few goes it runs ok

2, At speed the car lurches as if its cutting out after slowing down its ok.

Now...

The remote door key has packed up, and would not switch off the alarm/immob light,

The car is refusing to start at first few tries, with the alarm/immob light staying on even using the red master key

After eventually starting the radio display is blank???

The engine now feels rough to drive.

It is a 94 Model has done 108000 trouble free miles right up to now, any ideas?

With so many different systems giving strange symptoms, the first things I'd check are all the Earth connections from the battery to the body and to the engine.

Check there hasn't been water ingress into any of the fuse boxes. That can cause weird electrical faults.
