One of the rose ball joints has worn on the throttle linkage, I have found on ebay a couple of stores that sell replacement joints, does anyone know what size the joints are on the 406 SRI 97 P reg.
I saw a thread not long ago where someone had the same problem, I believe he was told by the dealer that the linkage was not sold separately and had to buy the whole throttle body,

Re: Throttle linkage
That was me, I used two cable ties as a temp link which has been on there for the last 3 weeks or however long 
Still working fine though!

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
