No, whats the point in me being raped by Vauxhall for a whole new TB which will probably cost me in excess of 200 quid when I want to put TB's on it next year.
I would have the X16XE rebuilt with TB's have it all powder coated and the engine bay re-sprayed before re-fitting it.
Get it done in 2 weeks, I want this 1.6 8v now.

Fixed it 
It had sucked the sock into the throttle body and it was keeping the butterfly half open and half closed.
Had to take off inlet manifold, so happy. As long as I can get a bracket made up for the alternator I shall be at Trax in it.
Cutting it fine
