Thanks guys between you all you've sorted the rough idle.......many thanks

[kcl]

What was the fault and how it was cured?

[Dr_X]

Thanks to Kevin and mark I concluded the coil pack was probably ok as it would be unusual for all 3 coils to go down at the same time....so I followed chris's advice and went nuts with the wd40 and checked all the connections,put it back together and went for a thrash,smooth as when I got home.

I put the code reader on it and no codes so all good,

Still very slightly lumpy if you let it just tickover for a long time but its going in the right direction...

My feeling is it will get better and better the more I drive it as it has only done 300 miles in the last 3 years.......

Could well be a Lambda sensor is a bit tired after a rest like that. Maybe it's getting lazy with long periods of idling and that's upsetting the idle. A good Italian tune-up might well sort that.

I will try and tune it every time I drive it

Done the cambelt kit yet ? Sounds like it may  well need doing.
