So have I !. Wait till Scorpioman appears as I'm sure he has done a write up on it. Essentially you need to remove it,clean the shaft and lubricate it. May need a new gasket when you refit. :)
I assume you have foundThis (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/iacvdata.htm) though.

hi there

that's really all there is to it.

3 in 1 oil is best as wd40 can be a bit 'sticky'.
