Sounds like a misfire. Check the spark plugs, gaskets etc. That would be the first thing

Probably dampness on the HT (high tension) electrics causing the misfire, should be ok once fully warmed up and dried out.

Peugeot ones will generally be Bosch.
Other brands have been know to make the coilpack have dicky fits. There was even a service bulletin published about not using NGK

If you need the car sorted quickly take it to a garage, unless your pretty knowledgable you could end up spending a fair amount of cash changing things and not solve the problem and having to take it to one anyway. Coming on here and guessing (like most people, myself included do) is fine if your not relying on the car but you sound like you really need it. The information given on here is great but hardly comparable to a mechanic that can see, hear and touch the car...
