I had to change mine two years ago. My current one developed an extra noise a couple of months back - when i turn on the ignition, the T/C actuator does its test cycle (on-off-on-off) with a horrible clack-clack-clacketi-clack noise. Every third time or so the T/C warning light stays on after startup. A restart of the engine (again with the horrible noise from the actuator) usually cures this. I have cleaned the electric connections to the actuator and cleaned the sensors on the intake side, but this didn't cure the problem. I suppose I would need a new actuator (again). If the TC could be disconnected without lighting up the warning it would the best solution.

BTW the TC actuator is compeletely interchangable with a BMW part, at least here in Finland the BMW part was about half the price of the Rover part.
