Found a cheaper way for transport to the UK.

A priority shipment by TNT post, costs 19.50 Euro, 2.1 Kg.

Think theire quality equals Fedex

Luuk, just TNT deliver all the Iphones worldwide, so if they are good enough for Apple, they are good enough for us. I use them and have found them excellent.

Keep up the great work, come on HOLLAND!!!!!

Just wanted to say on this forum a big fat Thank You to Luuk for all the advise and work he did for me to get my throttle body refurbed and back to me in the quick time that he did. The car is running beautifully and much prefer Luuk's prices to the quote of 6,000 euros I got from my local Maserati dealer here in Dubai. Great job and special service. Thanks again and viva Hollandia :)

Because of a more complex 2 way refurb procedure now, prices had to be adjusted since Smudger got his TB back in Januari this year.
At the factory the mechanical overhaul is done/ the TPS is programmed.
After receiving these overhauled en preprogrammed units, the electronic modules are mounted back, a final and very secure fine tuning of the TPS sensor takes place, a brandnew anodized aluminium cover is mounted and final tests are done at my firm.
In the end, every unit is tested on a car before shipment.

We are researching the TrottlePEDALpotentiometer these days for converting to contactless.
Hope to be able and bring some good news about this one in the near future too!

So, again guys: Don't forget the throttlepedalpot!
Good for you Spike!

The cheapest fix: connect the white and yellow wires near the connector to eachother.

Hi Matt,

The white and yellow wires:

These are the two sensor wires from the two integrated potentiometers inside the throttlepedalpoteniometer.
If the readings of the two sensorwires differ too much, the ecu will bring the car in limp mode for "safety reasons".
I had that once, overtaking a lorry, driving between two other cars at 130 km/h!!!
VERY DANGEROUS action from that ecu in those circumstances!
If you link the two sensorwires to eachother, there will never be different inputs to the ecu anymore bringing the ecu to go in limpmode.
A Maserati specialist told me this "invention of mine" was a factory mod later on, because they too agreed this "safety thing" backfired sometimes in a very bad way!

Hope i was able to explain, otherwise please comment.

Luuk.
