Hi
While looking around for injector cables I noticed these under the plenum on the passenger side, are they supposed to be connected to anything ???

Something to do with a range rover I think.

Cold start system maybe/ not sure.

In any case they are not used on the Chimaera.

Keeps the throttle body warm.
When the Land Rover left the factory and went to Norway it needed the warmth to prevent icing at the throttle caused by the colder air plus the reduced pressure when the air is passing through the throttle opening.

If you tried that in your TVR your ears and nose would fall off before the throttle iced.

They don’t look blocked off. But I agree they can be ignored. All they do is allow coolant to circulate around the body of the TB to prevent icing. Not really an issue in UK. But. Potential issue in other markets.
