sounds exactly like mine was a few weeks ago
AFM solved the lot idle, fuelling, and misfire due to over fuelling all solved

Hit it and moaned when they realised I'd not put any petrol in it...
it's not as if they'd had all day to work it out 
When it goes back I'm going to do EVERYTHING - petrol, oil and even air in the tyres!
