Right guys this is how it is
I start the car from cold and every thing is fine. I start driving. After about two miles a drop the clutch and the revs rise to 2000 then back to 1500 and back to 2000. Does this continuosly. A mile on i stop the car and again idles the same as just decribed. After 10 miles of driving i stop the car and it idles like normal.
Any ideas

Idle control valve? Seems to be a massive problem with Corsa's. Mine is going to Vauxhall tomorrow to get fault codes read because of theis problem.
