Depends where your gauge take off is but if its after your throttle body so is the leak/problem.

If its a standard sort of set up after the throttle body and associated pipework attached to the manifold what speed is it idling at.

Possibly a sticky throttle body what was it idling at when reading -0.2.

Sits at 700 but from cold start it goes 1500 down to 1000 then up and down two or three times before settling down

That sounds like MAF related but doesn't explain the vacuum problem could turn into something more sinister.

If it is maf would the problem only happen when cold as when the car heats up theres no juddering or misfire just a slight flatspot at 3000rpm

That would probably sound about right borrow a good MAF and try it first still doesn't explain the vacuum issue.

But i read this
NOTE: If the crank sensor is used only for misfire detection and NOT spark timing (this varies with the vehicle), the vehicle should start and run with MIL (Malfunction indicator lamp) illumination. Also, some vehicles require several key cycles to illuminate the MIL. If this is the case, there may be no MIL illumination until the problem often enough over time. If the crank sensor is used for BOTH misfire detection and spark timing, the vehicle may or may not start. Symptoms may include: Vehicle may not start (see above) Vehicle may run rough or misfire MIL illuminates
