Has any one managed to replace the TPS switch on the throttle body without actually removing TB from the car?.Only ive just managed to sort my coolant temp probs and really dont fancy draining and bleeding again.

You can take the TB off without disconnecting the water pipes, but you can access the TPS and it's screws by removing the convoluted air hose.
You don't have to drain the coolant to disconnect these pipes anyhow - they're just about the highest part of the cooling system.
