Well I managed to adust the cable and the throttle is now much smoother although still has a tendancy to stick in 'foot down' mode, but nowhere near as bad as before. Also checked the AFM using this guide http://www.frwilk.com/944dme/afm.htm (linked from Clarks Garage) and found that the Wiper track was virtually completely worn away around the area at which the car is idling. I did the 'bendy arm thing' and car now idles much smoother although a little 'hunting' still occures when the engine is cold. The clutch pedal is still jerky at the top of its travel but Im getting used to it.
I need to get the belts changed and have it serviced (more for my own piece of mind than any real need) just as soon as I can locate someone nearby, and if that doesnt throw up any major issues I will look at changing the brake pads and replacing the tyres with the original sized 195/65/15 's.

Overall Im having great fun ! :)

The throttle sticking may not be the cable, if the floor under the throttle pedal gets bent upwards say by jacking then this can jam the throttle. Had it after the sills were fitted on mine, quite exciting driving home!
