Is it possible to get to the inlet manifold servo motor without removing the manifold to change the wiring with a resistor?

Thanks

It's do able but very tricky.

Sounds like its worth a go.

Am I right in thinking that if I manage to disconnect the motor wiring and put in a resistor then the problem will be solved?

Are the flaps supposed to be open or closed?

Thanks

I believe the flaps will still have to be removed as will move through vibration of engine etc. You could fix the arm in position in some way to stop them moving about and that would have to be in the open position . If they are worn or damaged they will have to come out. Better to get rid of them altogether.

I see. So probably impossible to do without removing the manifold.

Are there any instructions for removing the manifold? I've searched but can't find anything.

Thanks to all for help

Did mine using a Haynes manual as reference, 14 pounds well spent!! Its a fiddly messy job but not difficult, just takes time.

The haynes manual says that the thermostat housing has to be removed. Is this the case? If so i take it that a new gasket will be required?

Thanks

Yes, the thermostat housing does need to be removed, the housing gasket is a rubber seal, just re-use it using a bit of silicon sealant.

Just in case you didnt realise, the bonnet can be fixed in a vertical position by repositioning the gas struts to the 'spare' ball joints near to the existing fittings on the bonnet. This increases access to the back of the engine. (the struts just 'lever' off from the ball joints)
