she`s trying to stall !!

Hi all !
I have a 318i touring, 1991.
Over the last few days, when i take my foot off the gas, she tries to stall, and has just cut out. Starts again easily, but it is annoying ! Its the same when hot or cold. Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Gary. :)

Play in the rear wheel- Diagnosis please

If i jack the rear up, and leave the car in gear, you can rotate the wheels left to right/right to left, about 25mm. What is the cause, and what to do to rectify this.
Thanks

Right, i had a good look today. I`d bought a new set of shoes, but tbh it didn`t need them. Ihad the discs off and cleaned them up, tightened the handbrake adjuster nuts. Now it holds great! - But ! I held the disc firmly, and it still moved from side to side, probably an inch, and there was a sligh...

Re: What is this likely to be?

Yes i do, but when i apply handbrake at lights, etc, on a hill if you take your foot off the brake, its like there is a bit of play before the handbrake stops the car.
