I drove home from work about 10-15 min journey and when I was parking up the idle was dipping down quite low, it had been parked up in the heat all day, would the heat cause this? I know cold air is better for the engine running better but I'm no brainbox really with engines! It's the first time it's done this. Thanks in advance

I would imagine the ICV may need a clean, perhaps the fuel filter could also do with a change...

Does the car drive ok otherwise?
