Default Throttle Position Sensor on Ford Ka

The better half has a problem with her Ka and it looks like the TPS needs replacing. How easy is this to do? What do I need to do it? Where in the engine is it? Or should I just pay someone?

Cheers.

Physically changing it is dead simple, one multiplug and two screws! You may however need it setting up, it needs to be calibrated to give an accurate reading. It can be found on the throttle body, odd that isn't it! Follow the air inlet hose from the air filter and you should find it, or follow the throttle cable, it'll be on the opposite side of the throttle to where the cable goes on.
