    Basically driving along the car looses power and just starts popping and banging, throwing flames out the back.

    Pulled to the side of the road and the car stalled, tried turning over and nothing.

    Haven't had a proper look over the car as it was dark.

    Thinking it's dropped a coil pack?

    Take off the camshaft sensor and have a look. The camshaft should have a half moon at the end easy to see. Mine was snapped off. Or look for some damage on sensor as well. But then your timing will change so will have to set it uo again or before taking it off mark where its going
