    When the car starts from cold, It adles at about 1300rpm. At running
    temp it idles at about 1200 rpm. With lights and heater on it adles at
    about 1000rpm.

    Things seem a bit fast to me, but at night and when the heater is on, I
    want it to idle at about 1000 rpm

    To my knowledge there are no air leaks and the breather pipes are
    tight.

    Would it be a good idea to adjust the idle speed using the air screw
    (the car runs very well as it is) to achieve an idle speed of 1000rpm
    when warm and electrics off, or might this lead to problems under other
    conditions?

    I'm a bit worried about the MOT when evidently the inspectors can fail
    a car that idles above 1000rpm.

    Thanks
