Any ideas???

Well if the ISV is working properly, rev the engine and watch the rev counter.  If the revs plummet back to idle then its buggered.  It should drop quickly until 2k, from there it should fall slowly to idle

We got 5 ISVs from the scrappy and only 2 of them worked lol

Got under the bonnet this morning. Couldnt find the idle switch -seems to be right under the throttle body. However, opening the throttle and then closing it, there was a click when it closed. I guess this means that switch is ok......

Changed the ISV with the scrappy one and it seems to be behaving itself more than it was. The revs still drop off but nowhere near as bad as it was yesterday. Looks like the other ISV was the culprit this time......

Bloody car does my head in, always going wrong - Fords look reliable in comparison lol 

Thanks for all the advice.........

Aye it's a complete arse!  If it clicks then it should be aligned properly, next thing is to check it electrically

But if the idle is steady then its probably working fine

Don't know if you have all ready tryed this or not and i might be well off the mark but on my wifes last car she had a crack in her rotor arm. I messed around with that car for 2 weeks she had all sorts of problems it would cut out, warning lights came on, she had no power ect and it was just a poxy rotor arm......
