Punto annoyance

Possibly a faulty throttle body, or it could have an air lock in the cooling system, or both. The revs are supposed to hang up a small amount, but not so much it affects gear changes.

I will bleed the coolling system first, as that bit is simple enough. I did look round for anything obvious, and there was nothing like trapped seals under the air filter box or pipes off. If it wants anything more technical it is off back to the dealler. It is very consistent in what it does, so I suspect it will be something quite definite wrong with it. Apart from that fault though, it works just fine. Thanks for your thoughts, I will let you know how it works out, just for reference!

Take it to the dealer anyway, by messing with it yourself you could cause problems with warranty. The car has 2 years warranty, so why not use it.

Thats interesting. I bought an 03 vectra 1.8 last year, and it does the same. I was thinking about taking it to a dealer to look at but figured they would say it was probably a characteristic and "they all do that sir"

Any idea why they are supposed to hang on a bit? Some emissions nonsense?

It may well be.

Possibly, they also damp the throttle closing to prevent stalling under load.
