Annoyingly it's all smooth! When the throttle body was on the bench you can see the butterfly opening in time with the rotation of the cam the cable attaches to so I don't believe there's an issue with that.

There's a bit in this thread unstable idle about throttle position of 3.9% open which i can see on the OBD but this then jumps to about 4.7% obviously in time with the sudden rpm increase. I've tested the TPS but this would appear to be working correctly and smoothly and again in time with the throttle operation so I'm not sure what to check next?!

Hi all, I've got this odd throttle response from tickover where you very slowly and gently push the pedal down but instead of increasing the revs smoothly it suddenly jumps to about 1600rpm

Initially i thought cable but this appears fine, the fault is still there when you increase the rpm by hand at the throttle body.
It was suggested (on Facebook) it might be the TPS, so resets were done, no change. TPS checked but appears to working fine with a nice smooth increase in voltage as the throttle is opened.
IACV, its not hunting, no idle issues starts and runs fine. The only thing i'm not sure of is that i can hear it ticking/stepping occasionally while the ignition is on but the engine is not running (I bought a cheap OBD reader so have been playing this afternoon so the engine has been on/off). Not sure if this is common behaviour for an IACV when the engines been run in short bursts?

I've cleaned the IACV and throttle body, nothing too bad, no splits in the pipes etc and all looks ok. Nothing untoward from the OBD reader either.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated before i start throwing (more) money at it!?

Westway MTF94, seems to be some debate between this and others so I went for the oil that was "supposed" to be in there first, can always change it out if needed. The car didn't have much service history so better to have anything fresh in it than the dirty carp that came out when I drained it!

Clutch feels OK, biting point is at a good level, peddle sits a little high for my 6'1" liking but I suspect that's the way it is and nothing to do with the travel on the peddle. Gear shifts appear to be fine, hoping it'll stay the same until e/o 2023 and I'll think about doing something then!

Hi all,

I need to change the flexipipe section of the exhaust in my TF, can anyone recommend a supplier from experience? There seem to be quite a few suppliers with some really good prices, but from experience really good prices can mean its not the greatest to fit/to last. I did wonder about Mgfntfbits as a mid price-range purchase but would appreciate any advice. (I really would like to have bought stainless steel but sadly that's out of my price range so will have to settle for standard)

PS. the back box has Unipart embossed into, is that an original?
