Cheers, so I could grab the one from the above link? mines acting up and I've the driving test (using my own car) in September so hoping to have this sorted by then. Sorry for literally not knowing anything about these cars
No worries. Mine was playing up prior. I did do the re-solder, which worked for a while, but then it it went terrible again & I think it was the sensor inside playing up.
I decided to replace mty throttle body along with my thermostat & radiator at the same time
The replacing of the Throttle body is fairly straight forward, though a few tips.
Spray the throttle body manfold holding bolts in some penetrating oil. They could of been for on a real number of years.
The rear coolant pipe, which goes into the rear of the throttle body can be difficult to remove along with the clip. Not much room & you don't want to damage the pipe (replacing it fully be an arkward job).
Once you have the throttle body off place a rag down the hole, to stop anything falling down the manifold
Clean the manifold gasket carefully & bottom of the to be fitted throttle body to go on. I used carb cleaner. You need a clean join. Be very careful not to get any of the stuff down the new throttle body venturi, as it could upset the fixed sensor inside.
I do have a spare throttle body manifold gasket, if your orignal manifold gasket is damaged.
Be patient and take your time it should all go ok!
