What I thought was a dirty throttle body was a shortening spark plug lead,

Car is MUCH smoother and so far WAY more fuel efficient, to bad i'm going away for a week. Was keen to see if the tank will do more than 400k's

Thanks for the comment - it's coming along ... I'm getting a little over 600km per tank now after the last service - we changed the fuel filter, air filter, oil filter/oil, MAF, spark plugs/leads ... still might change the thermostat as I'm getting an intermittent temp warning light - it scans okay so it's a bit of a mystery as to what's going on there.

Changed the cabin pollen filter today - that thing was dirty as - put the date on this one so I can keep an eye on it.

Oh forgot, also changed the fuel filter and cabin filter on mine too. Had the original cabin filter that came with the car. DIRTY! If i get 600k per tank will be happy.

Might be time to get some advice from a specialist - could be the way a couple of things affect each other that's causing the issue - is there a noticeable problem when you drive it?

Might be time to get some advice from a specialist - could be the way a couple of things affect each other that's causing the issue - is there a noticeable problem when you drive it?

Could be right. Bit rough but not too bad, Red line has changed down 1k revs to 5.2k and cruise control doesn't work at the moment haha
