    ill check that as soon as some ones home to help me open the bonnet. but would it just happen all of a sudden like that? i held the throttle wheel thing down as far as it would go so i dont think its the throttle cabel sticking.

    my car had same problem and could never figure it out, sent it to get tuned and the guy fixed it though the ecu, possible fuel mixture when idle?

    Try some WD40 on the throttle linkage and the cam and give it a gut full of carbi cleaner, my mini and dato use to do that it's a pain , I think just with all the extra heat and metal expansion something mayb catching. Worth a try
