Throttle pot

[Eelblady]

I have an inkling that my S3's rough running may be due to a TP on its way out. I'll do some testing with the multimeter at the weekend, but where is best to get one from? I saw a thread that a Cerb 4.2 one is a good and cost effective change, but where from and what is a good price?

Many thanks chaps

Probably cheaper from a humble Rover - Intermotor link. Intermotor part 19935

If the search is working (ha-ha) there are lots of useful threads on here about them - correct wiring being one of the key issues.

Edit - ebay purchasing opportunity added (~£50)

Thanks, search was working (briefly!) and I'd noted the wiring issue. Strangely the Rover ones seem to work out more expensive than the Cerb ones! Racetech at just under £30 seem about the cheapest.

Blimey - didn't expect that. Although the Racetech one is VAT + delivery - just checked as I was tempted to order a spare at that price but £43.14 delivered.

Just done a bit more searching (the Lucas part number seemed most productive SEB855) turned up this ebay link £33 delivered.

Right - must get on with the studying I'm doing a great job of avoiding!

Dont forget the wiring is different between the silver (original) and gold (later) connectors, if your existing ones are silver then the two outer wires need swapping over to get the fuelling correct. Filure to do this will result in the TP saying you are 'at speed' on tickover the over fuelling!
