Jamondo Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi all, I've recently fitted some rubber mats and a one piece tunnel cover thingy, which now means I can't get full throttle. Simple solutions include things like cutting a hole in the mats to allow the pedal to travel further, increase cable tension at idle etc etc but has anyone else ever come across this? They are all genuine Land Rover mats by the way. It's almost like I need to increase the ratio between pedal travel and pump linkage??

Disco-Ron Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 There's always the option of bending the pedal slightly..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamondo Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Quite right, it's another possibility. I just wasn't sure if there was different pedals fitted to say county's? With more matting? I always like to try and find a 'factory ish' solution before I go bending stuff. Although it usually ends up with bending and welding and lots of hammering anyway lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I have a 110 CSW and both the carpet and aftermarket rubber mats that I use have a rectangular cutout under the throttle pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamondo Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Oh so maybe a hole in the mats is the official answer then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 my 110 has a rectangular slot in the carpet/rubber mat for the accel pedal to allow the stop bolt to touch the bulkhead floor, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMB Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 As per previous answers - rectangular cut-out in the carpet. '98 110 CSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamondo Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Thanks guys. Mine also does have a cutout at the vertical section against the bulkhead for the pedal stop, but looking at it this morning it's actually under the pedal itself that's causing the problem. Perhaps it's just the bulk of the matting that's causing it. If I hold the pedal down then adjust the cable up to full throttle on the pump, it's ends up idling at around 800rpm (ish).

western Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 750 to 850rpm is correct for a LR diesel engine, so 800 is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamondo Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'll think I'll leave well enough then. Cheers western. Right I'm off to start another topic seeking yet more advice ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Mine had an adjuster bolt which i took out due to it touching the mat when full pressed down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 they should all have a 'stop bolt' carpet needs trimming as mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
