Ciao Jasper Yes it seems the only thing listed is a complete TB assembly, at about the price of a complete used bike from eBay . My guess is you'll have much quicker and cheaper results replacing it with some non-OEM stuff. Where is the problem, the ball joint? Shouldn't be a major problem to find something similar. On the other hand, some play shouldn't matter much as long as there is tension. Is your RH idle screw backed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jap In OZ Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks! Yeah the baljoint has excessive play which I like to sort. I thought I'll just see how much the OEM replacement would be and than make a decission on a solution. I'll propbably replace the balljoint bit with something from a local shop.

Martin Barrett Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Jasper, you don't need one of this, do you? I think that's the part he referring to. Doesn't feature in the parts book= not on the above page or the one with the intake/air box ot the throttle cable page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmac Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 This is the horrible 'plastic' ball joint and the original is riveted to the plate attached to the injector. I assume that to replace it with a threaded item you would need to drill out the old one from ther plate and bolt the replacement to it?

raz Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 It shouldn't be impossible to find a replacement for just the plastic half of it and leave tha ball as is. Still, I can't see how a little play would hurt as long as you don't use the RH idle screw. And as long as it doesn't separate on its' own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jap In OZ Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Jasper, you don't need one of this, do you? That's excactly what i need.. Thyanks! It shouldn't be impossible to find a replacement for just the plastic half of it and leave tha ball as is. Still, I can't see how a little play would hurt as long as you don't use the RH idle screw. And as long as it doesn't separate on its' own It seperated on it's own.... so replacement is due! I think i'll go and source the plastic bit in metal might be easier than trying to order the original part from MG Cheers Jasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Jasper, that's called "elleboog kogel". I have bought it three years ago by some shop here in Holland. It was, maybe 10,- Euro. I will buy it for you and ship it to you if you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I can't see how a little play would hurt as long as you don't use the RH idle screw. And as long as it doesn't separate on its' own Yes, using only the left idle screw will keep the connecting rod in tension at idle and above, to eliminate backlash, and there's less chance of it coming loose. In a pinch, if there's a risk of the rod falling away until you can get a replacement, a little epoxy could be used to "rebuild" it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The Centauro forum part list says you can use a socket from some unspecified Volvo (plastic ones wont fit but metal one will) as well as "Mercedes throttle rod end, p/n 000 991 88 22" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 My joint is due now too. It doesn't self-separate but the idle TPS varies depending on how it settles. I found the Volvo p/n too (not certain yet it's the correct part but it should be): 959088 Here you can see how you can separate it and use the existing ball. I'll report when I can confirm p/n.
