I have owned the car for about 3 years now and the only thing i hadent changed (plugs, sensors, cas, filters etc) was the leads. It has always had a slightly rough idle and that has gone now as well. Also the most I have ever got out of a tank of fuel was about 350 km, I have now gone 110 km and im still way above 3/4 tank. (Crossing my fingers) Hope it helps. thanks to everyone who posted.

forgot to add I had tested all the leads resistances with ohm meter and they were all fine. must have been changing resistance when they heated up or were under load.
