Have you checked the throttle body? There's plenty of info on this if you do a search

Throttle body is band in the centre of your air cleaner on the 1.4 Its the valve in the middle

The throttle body on your car is under the air filter, take the airfilter off and under it you will see what looks like a metal cylinder with a metal flap half way down, either spray some carb cleaner down it while getting some one to rev the engine or take the unit off completely you should be able to see 4 allen bolts holding it on to the engine jus undo those, disconnect the cable from the top and give it a good clean with a tooth brush and some carb cleaner or petrol etc and wipe the excess off with a rag until it looks clean with no black deposits but remeber to clean the top and bottom. Really is not that hard i did mine a couple of weeks back only took about half an hour and makes the car run alot better, hope this helps

hi again,looks like the problem was throttle body was dirty i gave it a quick spray before going to shops and revs are alot higher i will give it go going over in next couple of days, also can anyone tell me if i can spray in the hose that connects from air filter box to bottom of throttle bodyu i think it is i had to take this pipe of to remove air filter box

 

[robreidmotors]

I think that air filter duct going from the air filter box to the throttle body will have a maf sensor in there which can be damaged by spraying, so dont go near that one. Should be fine to do the throttle body only.
