correct idle is 950rpm, whatever the temperature

lambda sensor could be dodgy

It's right at the bottom, just before it joins onto the cat. If you look underneath the car at where the cat is, and then look a bit further forward, you'll see it, screwed into the top of the downpipe. If that makes sense!

coolant temp sender.

Lambda only comes into it when at operating temp which if the senders dicky it will never be perceived as reached.
