Hi,
I have been lurking this forum for months, and it is excellent. Not only a vast breadth of experience and expertise, but the 'ladas are slow' dialogues have had me in stitches. Chris Watson, please keep them coming - I would rather read your posts than the sour whingers who complain about you (but any personal insults, and I know where you live....).
Anyway, after some joyless years of company car custody, I have started running and maintaining my own car, an '88 Golf GTI. The throttle is very stiff, particularly in the first few inches of travel. Any suggestion as to cause/how to rectify gratefully received.
Regards,
LAS FC

Yeah, I might join your fanclub!
My Golf started having a stiff throttle and the spring eventually broke. Get a new spring and throttle cable from German and Swedish - 20minute job to fit.

...cache.pol.uk....?
I think we should be told....

Ian,
"*.cache.pol.co.uk" is simply the webcache for freeserve (I think), a rather popular ISP. I wouldn't worry too much, there's going to be an awful lot of people with that as the posting domain name.

Chris, you've gone too far. The Back Room is supposed to be about motoring, not personal threats and counter-threats. This is enough, right?

Many thanks for the advice - cable purchased.
