Why is the chick in the white pants looking at the wrong car?
On the subject of Iridiums, I got a set recently but haven't fitted them yet as I'm so lazy... I've read that they work better on the older dizzy models, especially the Vitesse 180bhp? After reading this I might get out there tomorrow making the swap. Sorry Jesus.

Re: Shaun's Vitesse
Well, after changing the rubber throttle body mount for the third time I decided to take the plunge and buy one of the solid ones from Ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222464224985? ... EBIDX%3AIT
Whilst out last week noticed it was ticking over a bit fast and sure enough the rubber and metal sandwich had parted company again so had to do a temp bodge with some cable ties.
Looks well made and fits perfect
New and old
Short test drive and everything back to normal, just hope there wont be any implications using a solid mount

Re: Shaun's Vitesse
I don't see why there should be any issues. I could never fathom why Rover used the rubber mount. It's not as if it contains a "hotwire" flow meter that could be damaged by vibration, unless this is a legacy thing from when they did...Slamm wrote:Short test drive and everything back to normal, just hope there wont be any implications using a solid mount

Re: Shaun's Vitesse
If memory serves Tom, the original Mk1 820 (and i think the Montego EFi) used a variation of the Lucas Hotwire system that was also fitted to some Range Rovers and SD1 VDP/Vitesse models.
That would explain the resilient mount to prevent transmission of vibration.

Re: Shaun's Vitesse
It's not the smoothest engine in the world and does vibrate a touch. Not overly concerned just wondered if there was something sensitive in the throttle body to make them use the rubber mount
