    Can anyone tell me where one of these might be got other than just ordering from main dealer?

    It is for a friend and they want to try to keep the cost down.

    Sounds odd alright and as PADRAIC said I think you need to chnage the throttle body out.

    Which wont be cheap

    This is for a friend, it is running rough, not starting properly until warmed a little and cutting out too IIRC

    It had been driven through not too deep flood waters and after a service they suggested changing this part.

    Having read online today about this the normal procedure is to clean the valve in petrol and clean the housing etc before refitting but you'd expect they knew to do that.
