Torque settings in the manual are WRONG. You now need to tap it to a bigger size

Docca sounds like an entertaining chap, with about as much spanner finesse as myself

He is another one who hasn't been back since 2016...The year I signed in, what did I do!??


Good read Barney, thanks!





I am sure the balls-up I have made with my throttle body and IAC will cheer you up too Maz... But that stays off the forum, Client/Mechanic privilege (It is a thing ) See you next week.

PS. Thanks for coming in early for me

Glad to of helped
The Forum is a wonderful place, full of lots of useful information , and at time some not so useful .just a case of using the correct search request to find it all .
