The car starts and idles fine.As soon as any electrical load is switch on, the motor starts missfiring.
I would think that this is most likely the alternator even though the charge rate is ok at idle.
I ran a diagnostic check and it came up with a camshaft sensor circuit too low error.
When the car is idling and I unplug the camshaft sensor, the the car almost switches off and when I plug the sensor back,then it idles fine.
Here is a link to my thread on our local forum:

we never got that car in the usa.....but i would replace that sensor with a known good one and go from there....also, cleaning the sensor may help if the pickup is fouled
