2.
All models: Looking into the engine compartment when standing by the left hand front wheel, examine the throttle cable adjusting nut and its
bracket. If an existing tie-strap is present (as in Illustration 2), no further action is required. If no tie strap is present (as in Illustration 1) proceed as
follows:
Sedan models only: Remove both of the crosshead screws that retain the tool-box cover and the cover over the brake master cylinder. Remove
both covers. On the rear engine cover, release the 1/4 turn fastener and remove the cover.
3.
All models: Press the throttle cable adjusting nut fully downwards into the abutment bracket shown in Illustration 1.
4.
Install and fully tighten a tie-strap (Part No. ADU 9028) as shown in Illustration 2, to secure the adjusting nut in its location in the bracket. Trim
off any excess from the tie-strap. Sedan models only: Reinstall the rear engine cover, tool-box and master cylinder covers.
5.
All models: Remove the protective fender covers and close the bonnet.
Note:
Should it ever be necessary to remove the tie-strap in the course of a future Service operation, ensure that a replacement tie-strap is installed as a
matter of routine on completion of the operation.
