Its your idle control valve about 40 quid from the main dealers if i remember right. Takes about 5 minutes to change as well.

You can also clean the idle control valve with carb cleaner.

The ICV is the most common cause of this but there could be other things such as bad HT leads, bad plugs, coil pack, throttle position sensor etc.
