hi delboy

with the idle it sounds like some1 could have been fiddling with idle air control valve, id say give that a look, should find it near the throttle butterfly, to adjust it u normaly just need a screwdriver

with the petrol smell in the cabin im nt sure, could b a very minor fuel leak somewhere but equally could just be the car is running a bit rich

u would need to have look at the fuel economy and see if its below what it should be

hope this helps point u in the right direction

a petrol smell inside the car suggests to me that you might have a leaking exhaust system
