Hi, when I first start my car on a morning it struggles to start but will get going, if I then drive somewhere and turn the car off it wont start again. Also the temperature gauge is always on the bottom however when it first happened it kept going to middle for a few seconds then back to the bottom. Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be? Also when I am driving and then put my clutch in when I'm coming to a stop the revs stay around the 1500-2000 mark? Thanks and please help, my car is in the south of France and no French mechanic seems to want to help.

Maybe the camshaft sensor needs replacing? it's a cheap part either way. There's a known fault with the focus dash clocks and fix or replace is the way to go there.

Okay I will try replacing both sensors, because I am in France I will have to do the work myself, are they easy to change?

They are very easy. The camshaft position sensor is about a quarter way down rear drivers side of the engine. There's a 10mm bolt holding it on. The cylinder head temp sensor is in the middle of the spark plugs with a wire coming out of it. It should just pull up (I think) then you will need to seal with silicone after, just to prevent water getting at it.
