Thanks all for the advice - I had checked the carb over as per your suggestions having had similar problems with a previous car.

Changing the idle solenoid and slightly enriching the idle mix (it was adjusted for the last MOT - a little too weak I suspect - the emmissions were the only failure point though, so can`t complain!) seems to have cured the problem.

I will try filing the end of the plunger though - that way I`ll have another spare.
