Does any one know the LandRover part number for the throttle return spring? It's the one in the engine bay mounted just below the base of the windscreen.

Mine has given up most if its ghost and and I'd like to replace it.

A search around the forums suggests it's a LandRover part and I'd like to pickup one soon.

My Chim is a 97/S reg 4.0 BTW

Bah! Today's tip is that trying to investigate and diagnose problems in the evening light is error prone.

There was a good reason why the throttle would not close properly and it was not a tired return spring.

It was the small stone chip about 3/16" think that had got itself jammed between the throttle stop on the engine and the tab on
the throttle link. Once removed the throttle will happily close again.

Oh well. At least it was cheap repair!
