First signs are positive, the car drove much better with the throttle body cleaned - so finger crossed.
I managed to break a small plastic part though on the throttle cable (not the linkage thankfully). I'm not sure what purposes it serves:

Does anyone know what this piece of plastic does and whether it is worth worrying about?  |
If you buy "Carburettor & Air Intake Cleaner" with the nozzle/straw you won't need to remove the thorottle body or change the gasket.
Which part exactly have you broken, if it's the bit you've ringed it's difficult to break but probably won't cause any problems.
