MG MGF Technical - Trophy throttle valve

where is the best place (cheapest) to buy the title part. I was recommended it as the bit to get for my f with a sticky throttle

Are you after an alloy throttle body Mark?

Not sure where the best price is available from - but would think that Mike Satur's emporium (http://www.mikesatur.co.uk) would be a good place to start your search.

Too late I discovered that this part is made by DellOrto in Italy. If I had known this beforehand, I would have tried to import it directly from Italy, Maybe you could try it. You can find the part on www.dellorto.it
Success!

I have just looked on the dellorto site, the part number is TV5 for the 52mm body. Unfortunately the only UK distributor listed does not stock throttle bodies, so maybe one of the other european distributors could give a price - afraid my French/Dutch/German etc. is not up to asking!

Try Richardsons of Tiverton, they have supplied Trophy TB to someone on an earlier thread and they appear to know what they are doing.(unusual for a Rover Dealer).
Contact them on:- Tel : 01884 256851

Kevin,
I bought mine through Richardsons (Dr Dave), but it would be interesting to find out if they would any cheaper direct from a Dellorto distributor, rather than via a Rover dealer (with the extra Rover profit added on!).

Here is ms Giusppina Cattadori's response to my enquiry about buying a TV directly from Dell'orto:
Dear Sir,

We regret to inform you that we cannot sell these throttle bodies for aftermarket.

You must apply to the manufacturing company of the vehicle directly.

Sorry not to be of help for you,

sincerely yours

Aftermarket Sales

Why advertise them on their website then?
