Rover 214si

SO.

I had a thing turn up in the post today, a complete throttle body from the closest thing to mine that I could find!!! Its actually manufactured in 1988 and is supposed to go on a Rover 820e... :S

New old stock. So clean so clean.

Fitted it and did a little video also of "stuff happening"

However there is a slight issue and possibly some kind of curse on me with this car because while doing the little video the alternator bearing had a funny turn and the alternator snapped off the mount... so, new alternator required now :o

I was hoping that the two throttle bodies would be identical however the throttle is about 5mm bigger on the new one. The car is happy up to about 75% throttle, after that it gets a bit lumpy like it might be on the lean side. Time to do some head scratching on making it richer!
