Another little update.
I'm still chasing this problem but had given up trying to solve it as I can't get the car out onto the road to give it a good run.
I do a regular job of once every other week doing out, starting it up & leaving running for a hour or so.
Yesterday I ran it up but for whatever reson it does not want to tick over atall, if I manually hold the revs at 2k prm all is well but after about 30 secs it trys to pull the revs down. If I hold it as 1k it does the same after a while. If I come off the throttle completely I drop as normal but its like the ECU doesn't 'catch' it & it just dies??
Any suggestions?

This happened on my daughter's Saxo 1.1.
I took it to my local Citroen Specialist and he said my ECU was faulty. He fitted an exchange, reconditioned, ECU and it cured it.
He claimed that bump starting (rolling down a slope with the clutch in. Let the clutch out and it turns the engine etc.) the car is the most likely cause of the ECU fault.
