Car has failed the MOT on 2 things, a missing back box.

Plus heavy steering on tickover.
How can I adjust the revs from arround 500 to 600/650 to see if it gets it throught the rest, (also wondering if if the problem might be an air leak some where) :-/ TIA :y

Probably a tired pump mate.
Increasing revs might be a good enough bodge to get it through the MOT but not a long term fix.
Also wonder if doing that would skew emissions test result at idle..
-
It should work fine at 500 RPM.
Idle speed is under ECU control. On some cars you can trim it with a Tech 2 but it can't be adjusted in the usual sense. Can you turn the climate on? Might help.

Totally agree James. But if it gets tested, then I have AA Garage cover, a brandnew and fitted PS Pump will only cost me £25 ::)

Steering input and assistance is also adjustable via tech2. Not so sure if that will work at idle speed but guessing that it would. :y

Can you use the clips to adjust the throttle cable to slightly open the butterfly....I know its a bodge, but will up you rpm and hopefully fix the issue enough to get you through an MOT

Yep, could also wind the throttle stop screw up a little, of course. [smiley=evil.gif]
Certainly a badge as the idle speed will probably be all over the place.
