Happy valve fitting.

Another 'how to' in the making!

How to revalve? Sounds more like a plumbing topic.

Well it fixed the idle problem. So far !

ive been having this problem for a while too and keep meaning to get round to doing it...havent even drove him for about 3 weeks since getting landy so really should get my finger out.....im presuming mine will be the take apart type then david as mines a mk1?

I'm not sure when the change was made, but it's likely, mate. They would have had to change the loom to fit the newer one.

I have found that it is possible to reach through to the valve without removing the access cover.(from the boot access)
You could pull the Iacvalve tubing off the throttle body end, and spray cleaner down the tubing, and into the throttle body. With the engine revving, that is.

That might be enough to smooth out the tickover?

its kind of half done now david...daughter fell asleep in landy so thought id take the opportunity to have a bash and half hour later she woke so its half off ...took engine cover off though cos the torx screws looked bit diff to get any leverage on to undo...will finish it sunday before gp...cheers again and will post when finished
