Thanks to some kind soul, not only do I know what part to get, I also know a bodge to get it going
You've got to love the net sometimes

[Stuart]

Happy days

[Rob S]

Managed to get the old girl going today, thanks to three cable ties (Red obviously as they are more powerful )
It seems the throttle cable is quite sticky, this might have caused it (Seems odd the cable is as stiff as hell and the plastic broke all at the same time).
I checked into the recommended replacement part, and can you believe Ford want

[pablo]

Glad to hear that mate:D

[Stuart]

Proof you can't keep a good Sierra down

If you stopped fucking about with that little gaylord Pinto, and shoved in something man-spec like a V8, I'm sure you wouldn't be afflicted like this. (Think they run on coal)

At least it was a nice cheap and straight forward fix. Cheap, straight forward cars that do what they say on the tin?? Who would have thought it possible

[pablo]

We've finally got hold of a bung to replace the aerial so that will be coming out shortly:thumbs:

[Rob S]

Thanks Paul / Alan, that would be brilliant. Let me know what I owe you please.

[Bart]

Thanks Paul / Alan, that would be brilliant. Let me know what I owe you please.

50p for the rubber bung:smilielol5:

if the weather is ok this weekend ill the arial out for you mate

[Rob S]

Brilliant, thanks for that mate
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a dry Sunday so I can do the throttle body and cable- probably means it'll p!ss down and I'll do it anyway
The added bonus means I can tell people I've got some bits off a Time Attack car on the old girl:party:when the aerials on-frickin awesome

[Bart]
