I recommend you do a TB clean and scan it for fault codes, could be a faulty sensor.

not yet but gonna get one on fleabay tonight. when it got scanned by rac when it had a dirty spark plug and damaged ht lead, it wasnt showing any fault codes even though it sounded like it was gonna blow up. at the moment it can run fine for 10 mins, sweet as then its all spluttering in idle in traffic, then its ok when its in idle in the works car park, very strange car, def a woman as i dont understand how she works!!!
