Having the fault-codes read is always the best way to start; but if you're continuing with trying likely parts, the coilpack would be next.

Compression test; measure the vacuum level in the inlet manifold; the oxygen sensor readings; check for airleaks into the breather hoses [particularly under the coil] and through the manifold gaskets.

hi. just to let you know that the car went into the garage today and they have said they can find nothing wrong with the car although they they can hear the hesitation whilst idling and feel it whilst driving. im now stuck as to what it could be. do you have any other ideas i could try as i cant really afford to keep paying garage bills.
many thanks and appreciate all the previous help.

Good; they've done those tests. What were:-

The compression figures?
The vacuum level at idle?
The oxygen sensor voltages and sweeprate?
The airleak tests?
