take off your air box
the throttle body is the metal circle on the right that opens with a butterfly
spray carb cleaner on a cloth and wipe it and spray carb cleaner in the guts of it
if you reach round the back you can find the cable which opens and closes the throttle body, makes it easier to clean
you might need to reset your ecu if your idling too high or over revving after doing this

sorry mate, I'm a complete novice for this type of thing, how do you reset your ECU?

take out its fuse
i never had to do this btw, my revs and idle sorted itself out after driving roughly 100 miles
