My car has developed a rougher than normal idle, jumping from 900rpm to 1K or dipping to around 850rpm. Sounds as if the engine is cutting out for a split second then back to normal. It only happens when its not up to temperature. Sorry if this has a thread already but was wondering if anyone had an idea of what the problem could be.
 
I would check fuel filter & also maybe do an injector clean via a purge with some liquimoly, I'm due to do my 3dr again soon

Liqui Moly Diesel Purge on Amazon £11.

Coolant sender is another, maybe this is playing up as they do with age.
 
I'll give that liquimoly stuff a go, I've heard a lot of good things about it but never used it myself. Would you recommend running it directly through the fuel lines or just adding into the tank?
 
I use in a glass jar with 2 silicone pipes & inline filter & run engine until it's empty almost.
