The throttle on my 1998 2.1 diesel keeps jamming open, leading to one or two scary incidents. After a bit of fiddling, I've found that the culprit is the spring-loaded part on top of the engine where the throttle cable attaches.

Bear in mind that I bought the car in December, I've realised that I've never ever noticed the radiator fans coming on. The car runs fine in air, it barely touches 80C on the motorway. However, it does start to creep up to 100 in slow-moving traffic. Obviously, with the weather here now approaching ...

Thanks for the help, guys. Much appreciated.

I've ordered a replacement resistor pack, and removed the blower from under the dashboard in preparation. I noticed while doing so that this had done before, as one of the three screws was missing. The screws holding the resistor pack in had been previously removed too. I'm seeing this as a good sig...

After some delving, it seems that I don't have the green connector resistor pack, so I must have the other type. I'm buggered if I can see where it is, though. Any pointers?

The control panel for the climate control works quite happily (although the temperature display on the MFD says "--") but no air...
