Default AU idle issue

When I'm at idle in gear the car has started to idle a bit crappy. Its almost stallled a couple of times. just wondering as the plugs and leads need replacing would this be the ccause or is it something else?
thx

mine does this aswell, when i first kick it over for the day, clutch in it feels like its gonna stall, only happens for 2 - 5 secs then its fine for the rest of the day. I dont think its anything major cause my car runs fine =)

give the idle speed controller a clean out with carby cleaner. i'd also clean the throttle body too. might also be worth checking the base idle too. plugs and leads wouldn't normally cause it, but if they need replacing do that too
