I have now tried the car and although it has improved, it's still
cutting out. I have since cleaned the plugs again and they show it was
running rich. I am off to buy a better soldering iron as the one used
didnt seem to get the metal hot enough (free off a robot magaine my son
had) I could not suck all the solder off and start from fresh. It would
only let me heat it enough to add some more solder. Having never
soldered before I will take everything apart again and try this
afternoon. What I did notice after the first repair was the car seemed
to be running at a very slow idle speed. Can someone tell me is this
something that needs sorting after the repair, e.g gettng the car
tuned. I do not want to get it tuned if the repair has not worked and
I end up buying a replacement Throttle body ?

Thanks for all the advice
Cliff

Sorry Chaps me again,
I have had another thought and not taken the car apart again. I have
now found out the chap who first serviced it changed the mixture. I
have now had this sorted and the car is running fine. I have just
taken it for a run down the A2 approx 40 killometres, everything is
running fine and one thing I found is whe the car was serviced The chap
broke off one of the breather hoses which should sort out the final
kinks in running when I glue it back on.

you have all saved me so much time and money.
Thanks again.

Cliff

Well at least you *shouldn't* have any dry joints in the throttle body now
