    About £25 on Ebay and there easy to change. Just have to remove throttle body for access. But beware because the bolts that hold it in are Torx and are made of cheese!

    i have about 10 of them mate and about the same amount of TPS's, knock sensors & AIT sensors.

    you can have an idle control valve for £10 posted if you want mate? pm me if your interested.

    its located on your throttlebody and its held in by 2 torx screws but for f*%ks sake make sure your tool is bang on the right size cause like colin said (the ode beaudy) they are certainly like cheese! they round off soooo easy!
