If it doesn't settle down as it warms up check for air leaks and check your coolant temp sensor (the one that the ECU uses, not the one the clocks use!).
Thanks skov.

I will check this tonight.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
