2003 Vauxhall Meriva Two Wheel Drive Manual

i have a vauxhall meriva 1.7 cdti.my engine stalls when cold and occasionaly when up to running temperature.
When cold i have to hold the revs up above a thousand rpm to prevent cutting out, about thirty seconds of this is sufficient to prevent cutting out on tic over and then when driven when i come to a stop and depress the clutch the engine dies this continues until running temperature is reached. Any ideas as to what this could be ???
