Well a good 100 mile run this afternoon with no dramas.
The engine hunts badly at idle only when very hot.
I am suspicious of the twin pipes on the idle control valve. I know both are split where they push into the actual valve. These have seen a previous repair with jubilee clips. I have bought new pipes and will replace both.
Q. Does the inlet manifold have to come off to get access? It looks like I won't be able to get my hands in to push them home or remove the longer pipe?
Taking off the manifold looks like a faff. Loads of small metal pipes.
