Thanks for the reply Feels really stiff when pressing the throttle car has been of the road for fair few years and I am worried it breaks completely when it gets driven

I assume they have a throttle cover. have you looked to see if it needs greasing?

Yes the cable seems to be the issue as the throttle body turns smoothly just cant seem to find a replacement cable anywhere ☹️

On my old V70 the throttle cable siezed up. The plastic sheathing had started to break down and damp had got inside. Rather than replace it (hellishly expensive at the time) I broke off all the plastic covering, which left the inner metal sheath exposed, which is made up of a tightly-wound coil. I got some 3:1 oil and soaked this through the windings of the sheath.
By hand I worked the inner cable back and forth until it all freed off. Then to protect it all from the damp I got some clear plastic tubing of a suitable diameter (washer bottle tubing I think), slit it lengthways and fitted this over the metal cable, holding it all in place with cable ties at intervals. Periodically I'd simply re-oil the cable to keep it moving smoothly. It was only ever meant to be a temporary repair, but I think that it lasted several years, and was still working 100% when the car was eventually sold - with 300,000 miles on the clock. Jack |

I wouldn't bother buying the plastic tubing until you've got it all moving, so the inital cost is a little bottle of 3:1 oil. I used this because it's quite viscous and the bottle has a little dispenser spout, so you can direct the oil without making the mess you'd get from WD40. Hope it works for you Jack |
