1.6td throttle adjustment
In spite of being quite happy with the bus round scotland I decided to check a few things out to try and ensure its running as best as it can. With a broom handle jamming the throttle pedal fully open there is whole quarter inch of movement at the pump before the stop is hit. I cannot find an adjuster on the cable to make it take up this slack. I made up a spacer and ran it up the local dual carriageway . It seems to pick up better and will hold top on a local hill. I would rather not use a spacer but like I say no obvious adjustment . There is a hole in the side of the nylon outer cable stop at the pump. Should this have a grub screw in it?

Re: 1.6td throttle adjustment
Is the cable adjusted/fitted correctly, if the cable was fitted with the pedal not in the fully raised position (ie tickover) it wouldn't open the pump fully.
Just an idea.

Re: 1.6td throttle adjustment
Thanks OBG and JP but i'm bound to say that putting the cable adjustment under the vehicle is something I would expect of land rover or BL. Not the ever practical Germans.
I'll take a look.
