The one way valve on the breather system was being a 2 way valve and not closing as it should at idle. So the breather system was sucking air through into the inlet manifold at idle and generally confusing the ecu.
The servo also has a vacuum leak.

Hi,  what was the issue then, breather/intake leak or pressurisation?

Jim and Steve,
Thank you both very much for your help on Saturday, the 2+2 already runs a little better after the alterations to the crankcase breather system. Tick over is now down to around 1400rpm, so better than was, I hope to replace the brake servo tomorrow and with luck it will bring the revs down to an acceptable level at idle, I will post tomorrow evening with the results providing I can obtain a new servo.
Geoff.

    Not disconnect it, leave it connected but unbolted from the
    throttle body so it's always at it's lowest setting.

    Ahh yes, that the thing I just tried disconnecting while ti was
    running and it made no difference. See previous post (they all
    seem to be getting a bit out of order!).

                It's possible, remove it and see if it then hits
                the stop, also try running the engine with the
