Parts wanted, anyone got them?

Hi, looking for a stepper motor and housing for serpentine v8, some muppet has overtightened it and so its broken off in the housing, not me! Also the serpentine v8 belt tensioner, or just the pulley will do, actual tensioner is okay but the plastic pulley is bit broken up, any help would be great. What an introduction to tvr ownership!! Oh, and also a foam air intake filter,cheers.

get a stepper from here http://www.powerstores.co.uk/?t=si&item=472

not sure where you'll get the housing

[GreenV8S]

You would be able to get the belt tensioner from any Land Rover supplier, or any TVR specialist, or ebay etc. Do you actually need the stepper motor housing, or just the stepper motor? I'm struggling to see how you would damage the housing. Stepper motor again would come from any LandRover or TVR specialist.

The Stepper Motor doesn't have a housing - it just screws straight into the Plenum. I too have been a muppet and overtightened one and broken it off. It's a bh to get out but it can be done with a little perseverance and patience. Make sure you don't drop any bits of plastic into the plenum for obvious reasons.

That's cheap compared to TVR part suppliers.

Hi, thanks for the replies, I thought i would clean the stepper and butterfly, literally touched the stepper with hand to undo it, before even going near it with any spanners and it broke off, it fits into a housing which bolts onto the plenum. Now left with all the stepper thread in the housing, doesnt look like plastic to me, the thread that is.
I can find where to buy them but just wondered if someone had one kicking about the garage!
if some one has an idea how to pull the thread then i am all ears! cheers

Yep,but the bolts are round the back under the scuttle gauze

And they are sodden little rascals to get at, may lift the plenum to refit, got the broken thread out, just need to get the bits and its all go again, cheers.

Imperial Allen Bolts if you don't know.

[f@-pots]

drill a 6mm hole into the remains of the stepper thread then using liqiud metal or araldite bond in a suitable bolt, Wait for it to set then bob's your uncle! Did it myself , know what you mean , mine did exactly the same thing.
