Re: Tip when polishing under the bonnet
Did you wind the nuts off of the throttle cable so you could clean the threads up and didn't adjust them when you put it back together?
Or did you re-mount the throttle cable bracket on the wrong way around?

I don't know that is supposed to be there, but that engine bay is tidier, cleaner and better decorated than my study. Can I move in?

Re: Tip when polishing under the bonnet
The reason for my problem was that i just pushed the throttle cable so the bend was facing down instead of as is in the picture.
