"*   The throttle takes several seconds to drop back down to idle.  Shop
blamed the throttle set up, but what?s the solution?"

BOB, THE SOLUTION IS TO HAVE SOMEONE WORK ON THE CAR WHO DOESN'T MAKE
EXCUSES TO COVER THEIR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING AS TO HOW THE ORIGINAL
THROTTLE DESIGN CAN BE ADJUSTED [ORR REPAIRED] TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, UNLESS
I MISS MY GUESS. THE THROTTLE LINKAGE AS ORIGINALLY CONFIGURED DIDN'T
MALFUNCTION IN THAT WAY. AGAIN, "THERE ARE MANY MEN WHO HANG OUT THEIR
SHINGLES AND VERY FEW WHO REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING!!!"

I HOPE I'M NOT COMING ACROSS AS BEING HARD ON YOU; THAT'S NOT MY INTENTION.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHERS ON THE FORUM THINK BUT THAT'S MPO AS A ROVER TECH
OF 54 YEARS.

WARM REGARDS,  AND GOOD LUCK!!

*Thank you for your enquiry for our parts and services. We offer the
highest-quality spare parts for the vintage Land -Rover. Our staff is
minuscule while the demand for rare and “unobtainable” parts for early
Land-Rovers is relentless. While your concern is important to us, our
ability to respond to each and every enquiry may be limited and stocks of
many items are critically low.. We are primarily a restoration-based
enterprise but when we have a surplus of a given  item, we are able to
offer excess stocks to our dedicated clients. If your need is urgent, we
encourage you to contact us by phone, in person. Leaving a message is
rarely effective, so we recommend direct contact. With many buildings full
of parts, it is not always easy to locate obscure items, and the process is
often time consuming. We hope you understand. Please
provide complete details of your exact model including year, wheelbase,
which side drive, engine, Country of origin, etc. When giving part numbers,
please also state the catalogue number (typically found on the front
cover).  We appreciate your understanding and will do all we can to help.*
