   Im getting a regular in this section..
   
   Driving and when attempting to accelerate the car shakes badly like its about to stall, and when stand still there is a bit of vibration throughout the car.
   
   Im thinking Engine mounts or Coilpack?

   As well as what you suggested, I'd hazard a guess at fuel filter and spark plugs.

   you need to work out if its mechanical or engine related, does it vibrate or shake when idling? if not its probably not electrical, if it does you can rule out driveshaft/cv joint, if it doesnt it may be mounts, or drive shaft/cv joint, could also be exhaust in extrmeme cases, but most likley not,

   Small vibrations when idling, nothing bad but its quite noticeable, the engine/exhaust sounds like its struggling with every other second with revs dropping but the rev meter still reads 750rpm.

    Been sorted, driving around made it alot worse till barely any of the engine was firing. Realised it was the same sort of thing that happened in my old Saxo, Coilpack!
