Just fitted a new Ford throttle pot today, cost me £55, all in, pot with connector.
boy oh boy, what a difference it makes, smooth on the pick up, I can now change down before a corner and floor it coming out without any hesitation from the engine at all, its an absolute peach, and the grin is even bigger!!!

Made me think - my current TP is now over one year old!! It's the longest time I've had one after the previous 3 in 9 months.

Must be the drier weather.....

Nice one bruv, glad you got it sorted and you sound dead chuffed. Sorted my valve clearances today sounds like a swiss watch now, also I reckon its a bit louder at the tail pipes now.

My Cerbie TP is now on its third trouble-free year but I am sure it has never had the lively pickup it had with the original Ford unit. Need to change back methinks.
