   sounds like your idle valve could be extremly dirty or its dead.
   there is a thread some where on here that tells you how to clean it

   You could also check the crank shaft sensor as this gets covered in crap (which I think is off the clutch plate as it is wearing down). It certainly sorted the rough idling on my car. I cleaned the bottom and around it with fine wire wool, I actually did this by accident. I had changed everything else and cleaned all the other bits that could be done without any success. So give it a try, what you got to lose. Good luck.
