I think it should be 850 at no load idle, but various things being on (particularly a/c) can affect this.

Mine idles at around 850/900 rpm, but as Harry correctly says, it can vary depending on what equipment you have running.  
 
Are you having an idle problem?  Smiley

well the reason i ask is because i have just had a new alternator and plugs fitted and now the revs seem to be running high when i first start the car it idles at about 1300-1400 dropping to about 1100 at idle  
 
I have been unsure what i needed to do so have dropped the car of at my local FMD today to let them sort it out so hopefully it will come back like a new car Smiley

1100 is roughly the idle I get when I have first started it from cold, after which it quickly settles down to a steady 850.

AH!! Now if you'd told us that FIRST, I'd have suggested taking the battery off, to reset the system!!
 
You could have saved yourself a bill there.  Wink
