I haven't got a haynes manual for my corsa yet, so i have a simple question if any one knows.
How do i get to the throttle bady for cleaning and stuff? Do i have to remove the inlet manifold? I dont want to just squirt randomly down the back pipe of the airbox with carb cleaner.
cheers

Yeah top half of inlet needs to come off but make sure you tape the holes up. I didnt and dropped a bolt down there but luckily for me I got it out with a magnet.
Why do you want to clean the throttle body

In need of a good service. On previous cars, cleaning all the systems out (TB, fuel filter, icv, spark plugs, etc) makes a difference. In 21000 miles, all its had is oil/filter/plugs and some wd40. I need to treat it to a good service!
