Annoyingly, the adjustment circlip positions on my throttle means that it's either not backed off enough to engage the idle switch, or not opening far enough to engage the wide open throttle switch. My pedal box doesn't look like it's cracked.
Could this problem be due to issues within the butterfly housing itself? Any ideas welcome.

Re: 16v throttle adjustment
Adjust the TPS/idle swtich then 
Undo the two little screws, rotate until it's clicking at the right point and then tighten.
Seemed to be working on Saturday though. If they're not aligned they generally don't idle at all once they're hot.

Re: 16v throttle adjustment
Great tip! Thanks. Nice to know it's an easy fix.
After you adjusted the circlip on Saturday it didn't idle properly on the way home (although I went a lot faster on the motorway...)
