Over recent months ive been gradually replacing serviceable items so I understand the car is at a minimum standard for reliability.

Ive changed rotor arm, distributor cover, plugs, leads, fuel filter, air filter, PCV, coolant, water pump etc. Yesterday i changed the battery, and its most likely a coincidence, but the engine tries to cut out when idling. It sits on 800 then dips suddenly only to regain its composure.

I noticed it seems to be more prone to this when it has warmed up. This is my only car so is causing me concern. Any help appreciated as usual.
