I have a 2001 XKR and this long weekend am going to try changing my throttle body (just bought a new one) does any one out there know a video I can watch and any problems to stay clear of

 

If it’s only the throttle body and not the elbow as well, then it’s a very easy job. Once you have removed the intake pipe there are:

• two coolant hoses you have to remove
• 1 or 2 vacuum lines
• 3 electrical connections
• 4 screws. I can’t recall if those are torx, 10 mm or 8 mm
• 1 metal gasket between it and the elbow.

Removing the elbow is a lot more tedious as you have to deal with the EGR pipe, the rubber gasket sandwiched between it and the supercharger (which is quite a bear to get aligned) and the screws for that, the two charge cooler to weird Y-pipe hoses, the part load breather pipe, a couple more coolant hoses. That’s already half the work of removing the supercharger.

 

that's what I was hoping thanks

 

Make sure you don’t break any of the vacuum lines during removal. They are quick connect and you may need a tool for them.
