engine revs measured in mm.. brilliant :grin:

doesn't sound like it's jumping wildly, most likely throttle body needs cleaning then

if its faulty, new one from a dealer is about 200 quid. A used one off ebay might cost you £80 or less. Cleaning it takes about 30 minutes if it's carbd up bad. Wire wool works well... need to adapt it after cleaning though (search!)
