Default going to buy a throttle body

i may need a throttlebody position sensor. so might aswel buy a whole throttle body. unless any knows where to get just a tbs. anyway how easy is fitting a throttle body? does it need ant tinkering via computer ie mapping. is it diyable? thanks in advance.

2000 reg but think its 1999 because of throttle body has old style black round throttle position sensor. and i think new ones dont. correct me if im wrong. also car could have been sat on a forecourt before registration.

So what is the issue with the car anyways? Why do you think the TB needs replaced?

ive got poor performance info on dash. i tried the plug on side of throttle body and it made it a little bit better than before but now it the same. when i put foot down theres not alot of power. dangerous for overtaking. ive looked at this forum and it points to either maf needs cleaning or a new throttle body.
