Recommendation (which I think is with many cars) is that you don't hold steady revs for too long above 3.5k in any gear except 5th. Don't ask me why, I have no idea. What I do know is that I sound like some impatient muppet at traffic lights

It's fuel-injected. I just got home and tried it again and it's starts fine but idles at just over 2k, and after blipping the throttle, it goes to 2.5k.
Autoglass were very nice when I called them about it - I felt a bit daft as how could a change of windscreen cause this? I can't really believe it myself, but it is incredibly freaky that it has never happened before, and only happens immediately after they had the car.
They will have a look at it tomorrow in case it was something they did, which I'm grateful for. If anyone hears what they think is a boy-racer heading towards Hendon early tomorrow morning....it's me
