Throttle Pot equivalent parts
Discussion
yes the black ones can be used on the 4.5 in fact this is what i was trying to source from germany as it's a ford sierra part from the 90s but have had no luck. The german company wanted everything including my inside leg measurement but I have one leg shorter than the other and their super efficient computer system couldnt cope with that. (this is after giving them the reg number, vin number, engine size, car make and model, year of manufacture and they still couldnt match it up). I gave up.
I got a reply from P&G re the electroic throttle pots. They can supply them but need some numbers that I can't get as I don't have an MBE on my car.
I need someone with a meter and a bit of electrical nouse to check some reading for me.
I need the overall resistance end to end of the throttle pots (outer pins). The resistance from wiper(centre pin) to 0v (whichever outer pin is the lower resistance) at idle and the resistance at wiper to 0v at full throttle. A resistance at mid throttle would be useful too as a check on the linearity of the scale.
I know the figures will be similar on mine but I want to be exact as I tweaked the position of mine a bit so they are not representative of a standard setup which is running well on the MBE.
It would also be useful to know the exact voltage between the outer pins on the loom connector. I'm assuming it's 5V but assumptions are dangerous and if it's 4.8 or 5.2 that is a big difference.

These are my findings:
Readings were taken with the blue part facing down (as per photo), meter has never been calibrated.

Motor parts world, the same people who last week said they had an alternative part then didn't wish they wouldnt advertise stuff thats not in stock though ..Hello,

I am not hopeful my blue ones will turn up.
I have tried with motor trade contacts of mine including parts suppliers and people that specialise in old Fords.
So far, no one has any blue/black ones in stock and there appear to be none anywhere in the UK as far as their systems show.
White ones are no problem as they were fitted to later MG Rovers and are still readily available.
Not heard back from everyone yet so this is a WIP.

These are supposedly in Germany, but not cheap

Here's another option, must be worth giving them a call at least

Interestingly the Vemo, Metzger and Magneti Marelli are all showing 3-5 days, but the Pierburg is showing 24hrs, so perhaps the Pierburg really is in stock.
Still scary prices though.

That was the bunch that called me back after I ordered some of the cheaper versions, they did a check to see if the had any that were comparable at any price and they all came back as out of stock and discontinued.https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/search?keyword=40200...
