1. The same SRS unit is used in both 1.8MPis and VVCs. Would have to verify whether single airbag cars use the same or different SRS ECU however...

2. If we're talking about the engine sensors, then these are easy to change. The loom plug has a circlip that you depress to remove the plug, and the sensors themselves just screw in.

3. I don't know whether VVC timing diagrams are available on-line?

Regarding the misfire (sorry, I'm not Dr Dave!) - I would suspect the HT leads and spark plugs - you may still be on the originals, and you'll probably want to think about replacing these service items anyway.
