Default All my grief becuase of this poxy little part



Goes inside the pipe circled togive a good seal.




Gave it some beans leaving work on Thursday before the North London PF meet. BANG it went and I ground to a standstill.

Lost the part as it must have vanished into the undergrowth . A quick check with Ford on Friday morning I found I couldn't replace the part

Things came good as I remembered the spare throttle body I had and low and behold it had one attached to it

Thank fook for that

I know they are on XR3i's as well as the nice man at Ford spent nearly an hour trying different options but everyone of them came back as a delete item

Do you really think a dumpvalve would have saved it. Best dig one of my old ones out now
