Digsy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The fast idle on startup is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Mine did exactly the same last year, even cut out on Martin (m-life) when he had a drive of it, sometimes it idles very low atg 3-400rpm. I also have cold start at around 2-2100rpm but it settles down after a min or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope its sorted itself out It does idle low once a week but i put that down to her telling me she needs go for a wee little blast and then all is fine.
