Car starts. If throttle touched stalls immediately. If left runs on idle for 10-15 secs, sounds fine, then cuts out. Will restart and do the same immediately.

No warning lights

Was running fine, but with some variator noise yesterday.

Trying to work out where to start...............

Bulls Eye!
ICV it was, although bad electrical connection, causing valve not to work was actually causing the symptom. I took the valve out, it was filthy / lots of crud, cleaned. Still no good. Then found the electrical issue. The cleaning has clearly helped the idle. It is absolutely smooth now, wheras it did have tiny fluctuations before.
Many thanks for the excellent steer.
