Hello everyone. I stumbled across the forum while searching for parts suppliers. Glad I did, I'm amazed by the level of knowledge being passed around. Perhaps you can help a noobie.
I was having idling problems with my Brava 1.2 16V, which appear to have been solved by replacing the idle speed actuator (and doing the ecu reset sequence mentioned by Jug).
Also thought I'd clean the throttle body and the oil vapour recirculating pipes while I was at it, but I'm put off by the snazzy clips securing the hoses. They look like they need some special tool that I don't have to get them off and on. Can they be done and undone with ordinary pliers or similar? If I can't get them back on is it OK to use ordinary jubilee clips instead?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions (polite ones, that is).
