didn't the £400 but it depends on how much work you could do, but it would be a start.

Why does everyone go to YWK when all he does is get from FORD and put a mark up on items ??????????????????????????????????????

I refurbed mine myself - pretty easy to do really.




Also did my throttle body and manifold as well - again easy enough.

I kept stripping to a minimumn - these are very temperamental so did not want to remove anything i didnt need to - to clean it i used thinners mainly as this will break down anything that shouldnt be there and finally just some brake cleaner then an airline to ensure nothing clogged or blocked where it shouldnt be.

It worked fine before and after stripping and rebuilding it should be fine after - i did not touch the top distribution block at all other than cleaning the outside of it.
