looked fine but do i use 3 in 1 oil to lube it-if so how mush and where do i put it-not being funny-neveer had to do icv
before :y Had all sorts of miggy nightmares to do but not icv

There's a little plunger that rotates and opens or closes the ICV. Pretty self explanatory once you have it on the bench. Rinse it out with carb cleaner then a little oil on the plunger so it can rotate freely.
Check for air leaks around the ICV and elsewhere while you're at it. If you get a leak big enough to raise the idle speed above limits, the ECU will cut fuel until the RPM drops and this can cause it to cycle up and down repeatedly.

As above - sticky ICV or air (induction) leak ;)

Believe thats live feed to towbar. Have you got a towbar fitted mate? If so you may have a wiring issue with it if fuse 29 keeps blowing. Leave it out won't affect engine idle/running ;)
