I believe I've sussed the problem.... it's the FRICKIN MAP SENSOR AGAIN!!!
It's a dicky unit at best, but lately it hasn't been giving me any troubles... I tweaked it last night before I went home from work, and it was still doing it when I kicked the car over first time. So I fiddled with the positioning of the MAP on the firewall, it cut the engine (as expected), I kicked it over again, it worked it's way back up to it's usual idle and in peak hour it got up to 60°C yesterday. I've had no more bitching from my car since then... 
A'PEXi AVC-R would be a nice thing to have right now... has a MAP sensor of it's own included.
