   is it quite easy to take the icv off. im pretty sure mine is playing up as it idles to slow and tries to cut out. also slight mis fire at mid throttle.
   has anyone else had any problems with the cover on the throttle body area that the air box connects to. mine just kept falling off. even with the massive jubbelee clip on it so fashioned a clip thing just to hold it down?

   Remove the airbox and piping
   Unplug all sensors on the TB
   The throttle body is held on by three hex screws (M5 I think) to remove these one by one and unclip the throttle cable
   The ICV is then screwed into the TB using two torx screws
   Unscrew and clean it with WD40 or Carb cleaner
