Found a few codged and overlooked maintenance that probably isnt helping my idleing problem. Ive done a video of the idleing so if someone could comment if this just sounds like its been cammed that would be good. Sounds like a slight miss to me though. Ignore the squeeky pas belt, thats another thing on the list :lol:
Firstly TPS wiring , considering resoldering/re shrinking these but might see if i can find a replacement first.

Secondly , whats the score with the adjustment on the TPS , when it was warm i adjusted this and got it idling relatively ok , bear in mind my idle adjustment screw is right in atm. Im thinking maybe i need to adjust the TPS to make the car under rev, then open the idle screw a touch ? any info regarding setting these two things in harmony would be appreciated :)

Next the air filter, will the default tables allow for something this big and silly lol

Also found a loose wire on the CTS , i assume this is the engine temp rather than the dash sender ?

Should the fusebox look like this ? or is has this been codged ?

LAst but not least , previous owner claimed a bit of coolant loss, this cap looks like a rover one to me , and its letting air escape pretty fast.

Going to change that, might treat it to a new bottle aswell.
Heres the vid of the idle , its only really noticeable when i switch to exhaust.
