So when in my brothers car we notice the idle drop significantly when the alternator is under load. Now it does this in my car, but not to the extent that it does in my brothers. It will idle spot on at 1000 rpm, turn everything on, heaters on full, lights, dipped and fogs. Then the idle drops to around 400-600 rpm, amazing it doesn't stall. Naturally he is trying to avoid this at the moment. But was just wondering if anyone else has incurred anything similar.

Hi all I've searched around and read a few thread about dodgy idles but I can't quite find an answer. My car has been running fine for ages, but now when I pull up to traffic lights etc, it'll sit just under 2k revs when idle. If i blip the throttle, it'll settle down and return to normal - until I next pull up to some lights and it'll just do it again.. Any ideas what might cause this to happen? i've not removed any parts or fiddled with anything mechanical, idle sensors, throttle bodies, ecu's etc for well over a year, so I know I haven't done anything to cause it. Cheers
