    Not sure. Dodgy carb? Dodgy clutch?

    Perhaps you have some clutch control issues :p

    Assuming the car was made in the last 10 years or so, its probably the idle sensor.

    Petrol or Diesel? Carb or injection? Manual or Auto?

    Idle speed sensor needs to be cleaned or replaced. Common problem on cars but for some reason a garage cant figure this out. Also get a full service including changing the fuel filter.

    OK, its either a sensor or the Nissan patented 'Chocolate Timing Chain'®
