	I've been having a real problem with the idle on my 53 plate micra. It started as a minor thing when if i was sitting waiting in traffic you could feel the engine speed dip. Over the space of a few weeks it got a lot worse where eventually i had to keep the revs up in order for it not to stall. I decided to take it into a local garage where i was told it was a problem with the drive chain. Anyhow �500 later the problem still exists but only when the engine is cold on start up. Once the engine has warmed it runs without any problem. Any help out there
