managed to get some carb cleaner off my mate who works for wurth in the end. gave the 'flap' a good clean, am yet to test it out due to rain stopping play recently.
went to halfords and they were fucking useless as always.
pointed me in the direction of the nearest polish
my idling problem is real intermittent though, it will go through a period of idling really low then sometimes it will rise again.
am gonna give my k+n filter a clean as well see if that helps....
