Hi,
Does anyone know what the spring connected to the idle value under the bonnet is called. Mine has snapped and the car cannot tick over.

i think it's just called a return spring,where abouts is the spring on the throttle body?

It seems to be at top near top it moves when accelerator is depressed.

I am not that technically car minded you might have guessed

if the spring has snapped on the end you can bend it over with a couple of pair of pliers until you can get a new spring as my lower one to yours did snap on the end and thats what i did til i got the new one.
you may be able to get a new sping from any spares shop but i got one from a scrapyard the had a merc in
