Hi Steve
I went out to my car and disconnected the idle control valve and it drops to a 850rpm spot on.But when i put it back on the engine revs to 1500rpm again so may be running to rich. It was getting too dark to check all the air hoses.will check tomorrow..I have the car booked in at a mercedes main dealer on 29th i hope they fix it quick as they charge £80 per hour labour..(robbing gits)
Cheers Karl
