Default Cutting out. anyone help?

I've had my series2 for 18months now, but recently its started to cut out when idleing.
i'll come to pull up at the lights and the revs will drop that low, that it cuts out. tried loosening the mixture screw, but only helps until the next set of lights, then does it again. If i loosen it anymore, it'll be totally out.

any suggestions are appreciated.
cheers ppl

Sounds like you may have an air leak somewhere mate check all the hoses and makesure the dip stick is pushed in properly.
