As always, yes we did. Weather was very good for the time of year and most people were glad we were there. Just a few were not.

I think it was caused by towing a caravan. Never get that sort of problem when going to hotels.

Unclip the locking clip thingy Disconnect all the tubes and wires on the throttle body bit, undo the bolt hidden under it on lhs of joint and rotate it clockwise. Pulls off easily then.
Bit of silicone grease helps reassembly ... especially on the sensor connection..

As towing a big van, along with big hills, could it be a sticking turbo vnt?

From what I’ve read, that seems around the mileage that the inlet manifold let’s go.
