At this point I would put a new fuel filter on when was it last changed.

Agree with previous poster but if it were here now I would be hooking up my oscilloscope to the fuel pump.
simple test if you have the tools.

I am getting the fuel filter done tomorrow!!
Hopefully this will be the end of it?
Does this effect the car in the like of hesitation??
Thanks for all your advice

A bit like getting you to breath through a garden hose then getting you to try and run a mile.
Stressing the word try here!
But if the filter doesn't make a difference get the fuel pump tested.

It's had a fuel filter change and made a slight difference although there is still a hesitation with the power?
