Open the front bonnet, ensure it is securely supported, and locate the throttle body: it is situated at the rear, just behind the engine oil filler cap. Remove the two retaining pins from the plastic cover protecting the throttle linkage and take it off. Next, using a medium-sized flat screwdriver, disengage the spring located between the throttle cam and the plastic gear by rotating the gear backwards.

Finally, reapply the protective plastic cover.
