My mates XKR has just failed on him and the fault reader is saying Throttle Body Sensor, its basically starved the car iof ffuel.
Does anyone know if the sensor is available separately ?

don't you usually chuck in a new throttle body when the sensors fail? Secondhand from £100.00, new from Jag around £1200.00 I recently had the dreaded Failsafe Mode due to a faulty sensor on the throttle body. My guy put in a warranted secondhand part and the thing now goes great.

Worked for Mike Brewer when he had the same fault on an XK8 featured on Wheeler Dealers...
