9.5b Throttle linkage with cover removed
5 On V6 models, remove the throttle linkage
cover, which is secured by three screws (see
illustrations).
6 Disconnect the cable inner from the throttle
lever on the carburettor or fuel-injection linkage.
The cable may be secured by a spring clip, or by
a simple barrel and slot arrangement (see
illustration).
7 Disconnect the cable outer from its bracket.
It may be secured by a spring clip, or by four
plastic lugs. The lugs are most easily released
with a tool (see illustration).
8 Refit by reversing the removal operations.
Adjust the threaded sleeve on the cable outer
so that there is a small amount of slack with
the pedal released; have an assistant operate
the throttle pedal and check that the throttle
lever moves over its full range of travel.
9 On automatic transmission models, check
the adjustment of the kickdown cable.
10 Vapour separator - removal
and refitting
1 All carburettor models are fitted with a
vapour separator, mounted on the left-hand
inner wing. On 1.8 litre models the separator
incorporates a pressure regulator (see
illustrations).

9.6 Removing a throttle cable inner - barrel
and slot type
2 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
3 Identify the three hoses connected to the
separator. Disconnect the hoses, cutting off
the hose clips if they are of the crimped type.
4 Remove the two securing screws and lift out
the separator. Remember it is full of fuel.
5 Refit by reversing the removal operations.
Make sure that the different hoses are
connected to the correct stubs on the
regulator.

carburettor and plug it. If a crimped hose clip
is fitted, cut it off and use a worm drive clip
when refitting (see illustration).
6 Depressurise the cooling system by
removing the expansion tank filler cap. Take
precautions against scalding if the system is
hot.
