It sounds like an ICV to me (idle control valve).
Do the paper clip test and see what it comes out, but i t will probably be this...

The paper clip test is a method to see the fault code of the engine management without haveing to take the car to a vauxhall dealer
Here is the link to see how it goes:

If it's the icv, u can have it cleaned, maybe this will help, orelse u'll have to change it
