Hi Guys.
Wonder if anyone can help a dumb Pom here?
I'm posting on behalf of a delightful old duffer at my local who has a 1993 Magna Estate 3l v6 (although it's called a Sigma over here).
He has a knackered throttle body and needs a new one. I notice there's a thread on cleaning them but this has been done a couple of times and according to his mechanic it's knackered.
What I was wondering is if anyone could advise on sourcing a new one - we thought we may as well look in the car's homeland. He genuinely adores his car and after having it for many years is just not ready to give up on it. He's tried countless places over here in Blighty with no luck and is a bit distraught frankly so this is a bit of a Hail Mary shot in the hope someone might know a place he can order online (or rather as he doesn't get computers somewhere I can do it for him!) or even phone numbers of any breakers yards that may be useful.
Thanks in advance for any help possible and hope I haven't done anything wrong posting this here.
