Hi. Firstly I have found a really clogged water pipe that goes from the thermostat housing to the throttle body. Have a look below.. What impact do you think this would have had on the running? Could it have contributed to my idle issue??
Also its snapped the sticky out elbow from the bottom of the housing. I can drill it and tap it but is it available or do I need a threaded elbow from somewhere else?
Thanks for you help

It is to prevent the throttle icing over in very cold conditions. not really necessary in the UK but nice to have it working as it should.
Would not have been affecting your idle
