Which engine is in your C70? For north America There was only one engine, a B5254T. I am not sure if that is the case for UK. You may have a non-turbo or another engine.

Clean the throttle. Look for metal filings. If metal is found then check turbocharger.

This is one possibility based on the ECM cancelling injectors when the throttle hangs open to lower idle speed. You do not mention any warning lights on. IS your Lambda lamp lit or is there a message about engine service needed?
