Yes it is different and my garage sorted it. Think it fits fine but you have to change the end of the throttle cable. Mine has a crimp on the end

Can't believe they used a blue electrical crimp there!!!

Thanks bondy very helpful mate. But shame on you for fitting that dirty old throttle body without painting it lol.

I know, wasn't too impressed with that. It's hard to get a nipple on without removing cable from car. I might just get a M3 two washers and a nut and lock it up. I suppose a bolt with a hole in would be better.

It has been like that for over a year. Now with no issues?

This is what the throttle body should look like before fitting
