Hi all, bear with me please as I don't have any manuals yet (in the post!) but I can't for the lift of me figure out how to remove the throttle body for cleaning. I can see the bolts but cannot reach them with a socket or spanner, even using a universal joint. Does the entire manifold have to come off or the post which attached the throttle cables? It's an 89 3.6 xj40.
Managed to get it off with much swearing, the lower bolts were so caked in gunk I couldn't even feel them, let alone get a socket on. Luckily it did come off because it was pretty much blocked, which explains the rubbish idle. Now to figure out why it was so rich. Thanks again!
