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

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:
