Remove the idle control valve, clean with carb cleaner and replace. This solution will last about 6 months until it need doing again. If you also clean the pipes connected to the valve with a straightened paper clip, you will get an even longer fix!! It is a common fault on veccies, but at least this will get you through winter. See cavweb.co.uk for more instructions if you are not sure how to do it!!
