I think we found the problem, in the end up I asked a Renault tech to have a look at it. Pretty much its the previous owners fault (again).
The pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body was just a straight rubber pipe (it was oem looking to be fair, it was about the same size and look as the pipe that goes back to the air box from the bov). With a t piece between the throttle body, bov and the pipe itself. It didn't have the little oem "u bend" plastic pipe with the sensors on it at all. So it was put back the the way it was when it came out of the factory. It idles a lot better, doesn't kangroo when cold, and seems far more torquey low down. Done this yesterday so I'll monitor it for a while, but I think it might have cured it.
