H,mmmm
Paul I have had to change my air choke idle thingy as it was *ucked! and wasn't working which gave a funny idle. Maybe its broke/not working properly. Also on the IAA thingy there is Two plungers which open when the idle goes low ie when the lights are on etc to let more air in. These gave me strange idle probs on my old Cherry Turbo. Undo them and clean them out! You've checked all the obvious so nows the time to step back and think of the Not so obvious!

Thanks Steve but I have tried a different clean IAA unit and it made no difference and the auxiliary air valve is working fine because the tick-over is perfect until the car warms up.
ADZS, the thermostat is working fine and the temperature gauge goes to the middle as per workshop manual. Hopefully a friend who has a MOT garage may be able to check the injectors on the car with an oscilloscope and tell me if one is acting the goat as the lumpyness is not every fourth time like a proper misfire.

My gauge never goes past a 1/4 of the way up the gauge as my twin kenlo hurricanes dont allow it too
 , so i found it odd when it kept creeping up to half way. Il change the thermostat anyway as the cooling system could do with a flush out and fresh antifreeze before the frosts really set in. As for the slight hesitation on boost and it feeling retarded il have to see what i find.

the fans only cool what is in the radiator and the thermostat opens at a set temperature and sends the water to the radiator to be cooled. if the water in the radiator is cool already it wastes energy keeping the fans on. If the thermostat is opening too soon the engine will not be running at the required temperature and the oil may sludge up and foul up the inside of the oil galleries over a period of time. Also the engine may use more fuel than it should if the ECU temperature sensor doesn't get to the designed temperature and provide the correct resistance.

what about a blocked injector or faulty one. i had one which was leaking, when i took it out the plastic cap on the bottom of the injector had a chip in it causing the spray pattern to be uneven. just a thought as i know you have had the fuel rail off recently
