Ford Focus 1.8 Ghia 1999 Reg - 62,000 miles from n - Revs dropping and cutting out - Blaby Foxes

2 weeks ago the revs on my Focus started to go to 1200 - 1500 revs after car was warm this week it has gone the other way dropping from 900 to 750 and sometimes below 500 and cutting out, te car has done 62,000 miles from new and has the original timing belt on is this a sign that it needs changing?

I didn't change my 99 1.6's belt until 100,000. After that at 140,000. I have never suffered from your cut out problem.
