new lambda sensor arrived in the post - fitted - idles at 3k... i mean WTF IT'S A NEW PART IT SHOULD WORK FINE! IF THEY'VE SENT ME THE WRONG ONE I'M GONNA DISEMBOWEL SOMEONE.. refitted the old shit one, and guess what - still idles at 2.5-3k !!! at this point i'm thinking OMGWTFFUCIHY, new idle control valve - it's the wrong F*****G SHAPE! only one of the bolts line up, and when you go to fit it, it seems loose as if it isn't sealing - REASON FOR THAT - it doesn't seal, so now i have to fork out more for another peice of chinese crap that does fit but won't seal, and possibly another lambda (which wasn't chinese and was actually expensive) that probably won't kill the problem - *goes to breathe in paper bag*
i need a diesel

the man has a point, still need to wait for the new idle valve though, the old magnetti one is very broken, and the cheap ebay one was exactly that, it probably had as much chance of idling a sheep as my car

Have you driven it yet? It should settle after a drive. I had the same issue with a lambda, took a 20 mile drive to settle it and finnaly turn the EML off.
Unfortunately I also had a cheap ICV but that never settled, it went in the bin after a couple of days lol.
