Clean throttle body as part of routine maintenence? 
engine runs fine apart from slight hesitation on take off in first. No fault codes. 
due to carry out oil and filter sservice within h next couple of weeks. 
looked at couple of videos on YouTube and removal of TB appears to be straight forward. 
 

im tempted to remove and clean both sides of butterfly and replace gasket. What you reckon, if it ain’t broken don’t fix it or remove and clean ? 

If it ain't broke don't fix it is my view but others might have different opinions.

Yes, generally I am of the same opinion. But I’m thinking preventative maintenance as I’m sure you are aware of how cruddy TB’s can get.

It looks to be an easy removal procedure and “might” prevent a tight spot further down the line. Decisions decisions🤔😂 

Well I didn’t  in the end.  Spent too much time wrestling with the plastic under tra in the cold 😖❄️😆

treated myself to a new pair of axle stands too 😁
