fellas your help was spot on, although time will tell if thats definatly the issue
we tryed running it for the first time today, same prob
we then disconnected the maf plug . the car ran at 1200 rpm, then dropped down to 200-250 rpm, stayed running but at thoose sort of revs tryed its damdest to cut out
so gonna get a MAF sensor for it and then try to sort out the idle but its looking good
thanks steve, craigy said you were a top bloke
