dirty TB maybe.. could even be a dirty fuel filter or your fuel pump is going bad, which usually causes the car to stall.

tb = throttle body

It's where your air filter box enters on your engine, there's the gas retractible control there..

It needs some detail to get into cleanning it, I recommend you take it to a mechanic and do it unless you're very confident..

im decent with cars, toyota engines are new, so it aint difficult to do? take it off and give it a clean no probs cheers!

If the revs hunt (go up & down) when at operating temp, try some carb cleaner at the throttle butterfly . Spray it in, wipe with a carb-cleaner soaked rag. Your revs will at least stabilize. I'm not sure about the gas you run in the U.K., but try running some premium with any engine-enhansing claims with it.
