bogey Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi Folks, I have a Landrover 90 (1989) with the 2.5 turbo diesel (OK OK so i'm not proud!) and am looking to fit a hand throttle to increase the revs when winching. I have acquired the genuine land rover cable off flea bay for a couple of quid but have no diagram showing how the clevis pin end of the cable mounts to the accelerator arm on the injection pump. Is there anyone out there with one fitted who could kindly photograph it and either post it on here or email it to me on berwick.wacton@virgin.net. Alternatively a scan of the diagram from a book of words would suffice. Thanks in advance Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 these parts pages should help get it set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogey Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Cheers for the Parts Guides, Dont suppose anyone can provide me with a photo of where the addittional cable connects to the injector pump linkages. Basically looking to fabricate my own as only have the cable and all the individual bits add up to a pretty penny! Cheers folks Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogey Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Thank you for the diagrams posted - These have answered quite a few questions. I have priced up the genuine parts and after I picked myself up decided its time to fabricate my own bracket to mount the clevis pin end of the hand throttle. Could I please ask if anyone could post me a photo of the linkage on their vehicle where it mounts to the throttle linkage on the injector pump. Thank you Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Ahhhhhh, that explains what the holes/grommet in the bulkhead are for!! Didnt cut them out on my new bulkhead....heres hoping I wont need to fit a handle throttle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I wonder if you could fit one of these to a td5 throttle body linkage ....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD5 power Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 hi i would have thought you would need to do it electronically on a td5 with another potentiometer to send the right voltage to the ecu, either that or a suitably weighted stone matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I wonder if you could fit one of these to a td5 throttle body linkage ....? as the throttle is electrically controlled from the pedal potentiometer it may be fairly easy to make a hand cable attach to the pedal, but with a disconnect link, so it can't be used as a cheapo cruise control.

Anderzander Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 That's a decent idea Ralph. I did think about a 2nd potentiometer - but wiring it so you could switch between them or figuring out how to wire them in parallel is beyond me!

Philip Tonkin Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It would not be possible to wire them in parallel. The resistance of the second potentiometer would affect the resistance of the first 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 where R1 is the existing thotle pot and Rt is what the ECU is expecting to see. To make it work 1/R2 would need to be zero. edit: you could use a second with a double throw switch but never the 2 at the same time.
