Throttle Body re-learn after cleaning it
Well today even though cold but dry I finally got to clean the MAF sensor and the throttle body (as best I could). Following numerous videos I disconnected the Battery then removed the MAF sensor (that's an easy clean). After removing the duct pipe from airbox to throttle body I disconnected the multi plug to it. Took the 4 bolts out but there are 2 pipes connected to it and they look a massive pain to disconnect so I left them but in doing so it made manoeuvring the body very limited. Anyway co

Talked me into changing the wheels, which made it look better...! The wheels were a Lexus Option...

I was messing about with an OBD reader yesterday, trying to sort out which tyre pressure sensor was in which wheel. I was working with the ignition on but not in the 'Ready' mode. Less than an hour later when I came to move the car, the hybrid system wouldn't start because I'd flattened the 12v Battery. I had no lights or radio on and no other systems were active when I was playing with the OBD. Managed to get a jump start from a neighbour's Battery then hot footed it to Halfords where I bou
