R75 cdt Pedal travel
Bit of a pointless post but Is it my imagination or just my car, does the R75 CDT accelerator pedal have THE longest amount of travel of any known vehicle?
Never had a car with such a long pedal travel, not a gripe or a moan ... just an observation really. |

Even when you've got used to it, and moved your seat forward, in standard 114BHP form, the CDT has less mph/inch of pedal travel than most cars. A 160 bhp T4 retune should provide the required adjustment, although I am still using the pedal for maintaining ankle flexibility.

No throttle response
I fear the other's above are having a bit of fun. As Marinabrian says, the wire tangs on the brushes Marinabrian mentions inside the small box on the pivot end of the throttle or the tracks the bristles touch are worn out/ or a combination of both after a high mileage.
You need a new one from Rimmers part number LR027140, £46.34 including vat. available 2-3 working days from their supplier. |
