Default Focus idling very low

Just bought a Y reg Focus 1.4

The car is quite good, however have found that it idles very low (around 700-750rpm).

Is this normal ?

It doesn't feel like it is going to cut out or anything, just something I have noted.

Only does it when the engine is warm as well.

Yup sounds pretty normal to me, as long as it idles smoothly without struggling etc then there's nothing to worry about.

I had a 1.6 y reg focus that I used for work a few years ago and it was the same and I was told by a ford fitter that's how they are and as the 1.4 and the 1.6 are basicley the same engine as they both zetec se I would say urs is fine!

Perfectly normal, book figure is 700 RPM, revs obviously will be higher on a cold start.
