remove the plug, remove 2 small torx head bolts and off she comes

hardest bit is getting the plug off mate, good luck  :greggmo:

Those 2 torx cheese head feckers are the worst to get off...........

Got saved by the stealers here........... Lighthouse didn't have any...........stealers wanted twice the moolar so off to Charlton breakers they sold me complete throttle body with TPS and stuff......... for £60.

4 big bolts and reattach the cables and 30 mins job done............... stilll happy a year later..........

Just a thought....... :icon_super:

A word of advice...get a genuine one from a dealer, I have heared pattern ones cause problems.
