sometimes when driving the engine starts racing away and the revs shoot right up.been took to various garages and the diagnostic machine shows no problem.the problem only happens randomly so when at the garage it never happens.one garage has said it could be the valve and had the car for a week to replace the valve.it was ok for a week now the problem is back,leaving me scratching my head

No problem . Dont know why they took a week for a simple job like that .Was the ICV / stepper motor / throttle body cleaned ? Check for any vacuum pipe leaks also .This is from another Peugeot site on same problem that they had solving fault .

Problem solved.
I spoke directly to the workshop supervisor on Monday who told me they had gone over everything, all sensors we're checked, the inlet manifold and throttle housing we're checked. Bloke said an 'old school' technician with 20 years experience from another dealership was coming to have a look.
Well he found the problem. The purge valve was not closing and was allowing vapour and air in to the engine at idle.
Anyway, good to have it fixed.
Thanks Everyone for the advice.
