Idle adjust screw?
I could have a field day with that simple statement!
It's the pedant in me.
Not certain there is one, probably done electronically.

Sorry Bongo Badness...drifting off topic again I think.
We really need to know what model of bong/engine you've got
derv/petrol etc
even then there are variations.
cheers

I think you lot need to get some! I did not realize the noun "screw" was so emotive, what happens when you mention stop cocks or is that a sore point.
it's a '97 2.5td 4wd, all i want to do is adjust the idle speed a little.

Do you want to increase or decrease the idle speed?
If it's idling too high then it could be the solenoid on the pump thats faulty - it allows a fast idle facility for cold starts and the aircon.
