Try cleaning your idle control valve [ICV] first.

cheers will give it a try tomorrow also the breather which goes from tophat to icv has been joined by together by pipping, was on it when brought engine would it be better to change to one single fresh bit of breather pipe?

Try the icv first, if the pipe is letting in air though it will alter the revs.
