   When you try starting it with the key does it crank ? Do all the lights go out ?
   
   Your description is very poor to try and diagnose

   sorry for being brief it ticks over and the exhaust starts spluttering, it will eventually start but will only drive for about 10 mins then when it starts to die the revs bounce between 1000 -2000 then it dips below 1000 if i push on the accelerator it will just cut out any ideas?

    sounds like electrics somewhere. you just need a test on it. will tell you whats wrong with it.
    
    might be something silly like fuel filter or air filter bogging your car out.
