Great idea, so long as you also outlaw passengers in the car as well. Obviously, if talking to someone is more dangerous than drink driving all cars should be single seater. Read more

Have a look at the throttle body and butterfly. if it's dirty give it a clean with carb cleaner. However, do not swamp the unit with cleaner, use a rag or old toothbrush and be sparing with the fluid.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE LOCATION OF THE EGR VALVE ON THIS MODEL AS THERE APPEARS TO BE TWO THAT LOOK LIKE EGR VALVES?
