yes but was the plugs wet with water,oil or petrol? and what were the deposits?

sounds like you have an ignition fault, is there a spark at the plugs? if not then it colud be a number of things; coil, plugs, but most likely culprit is the ecu. You can get the ecu checked by an ECU specialist (do a google search)
First thing to do is to check for a spark.

Forgot to mention, you could have a spark that is not strong enough to ignite the fuel, i've seen this before. new plugs and/or leads if they look tired. Does it have an ignition amplifier?

on top of the heater box under the dash is a little black box this is part of the alarm i seem to remember land rover mechs call it a spider box ? well when you get to it remove the cover and look on the back of the circuit board you may find a dry joint if so clean it and re solder it worked for me. john.
