98 C70 Throttle Body question

Evening gents,
So the C70 as lovely as it is to drive has the dreaded ETS light on.
I've seen a few ads on Fleabay for repair services and also 2nd hand throttle bodies.
But there seems to be some confusion as to whether a replacement would need to be programmed to my car ?
I've found one for £100 with matching numbers with a 30 guarantee.
Will it plug and play or will it need programming ?
I've struggled on with it for a week with terrible fuel consumption figures like 14mpg :-(
It's fine when it's driving, if it starts, but idle is really lumpy and surely it can't be doing the engine any good ?
Any help would be most appreciated. I have found someone who can recondition mine but there on holiday, just my luck lol.
Cheers guys.

Lee.

The bloke on VOC who does DIM repairs also does the contactless ETM repair mate.

I really need it fixing like yesterday lol

He usually has a 4 day turnaround.. Quicker than buying from fleabay.

There's one I can have for Friday I just need to know if it'll work :(

As long as you're replacing like for like i.e. a weber marelli (which your car should have) with another weber marelli, there, shouldn't be any problem, it won't have the complications P2 cars have.

The one on mine is a Magnetti Marelli. It's got a white sticker supposedly the recon ones have a yellow label ?

Sorry, yeah I meant Magnetti Marelli, the ones with yellow stickers are bosch, and totally different.
