gti 8v wont tick over when warm

[gazareth]

with your engine warmed up and idling try operating the full throttle microswitch on top of throttle body and see what that does. failing that. check the wires going to the switches carefully for breakage.

Sussed it........ I think. After loads of head scratching and hunting for the elusive haynes manual Ive gone back out and had another look and found that the little gold screw just underneath the throttle linkage (not sure what it is until I find the haynes manual im assuming mixture) had been turned all the way in, so ive now turned it out 1/2 turn and its ticking over just under 1000 rpm (its abit high I know but atleast its ticking over now :-D)

That is the idle screw not the mixture screw, as that is on the AVF unit so your mixture should be okay but worth getting it checked in case the previous owner has fiddled with that as well if only to save you some money on fuel if nothing else.
