Hi Malcolm.

you could try an outfit called Mini technique.

they are close to me and he has all sorts of hard to find bits and pieces ,sensors etc.

Dont be fooled by the name ,he has lots of metro gti bits 

just Google the name . He is in Pilling near  Garstang.

hope this helps.

John.

Hi Malc.....hope you're well. I have a TPS taken from my car last year when I was trying sort a problem. If that's not suitable (from SLR), I can still get Rover parts from my former employer if you have a part number.

give me a shout on 07528 825805 as I'm heading Liverpool tomorrow for a conference and could take TPS with me

all the best

It's different - Malc needs one from a reeeealy early 1.4k, the TB is ali-bodied and the IACV is a mahoosive carbuncle on the side.

It would be simpler to just buy a later plastic or alloy plenum/TB and change the IACV wiring - not sure if the ECU handles it the same, though.
However, I usually disconnect the IACV when warmed up and leave it fixed.  That way the 'granny mode' raised idle when changing gears is disabled, allowing the engine revs to drop faster..

Hi Simon

Yes, as I understand that as ECU supports a stepper motor idle control rather than a IACV, an ECU change is needed as well as TB/plenum, and suspect that would necessitate an engine loom change too....

Scrap yards next, or hopefully a blatchatter who has upgraded their old 1400 to 1600/1800 with Jenvys...
