Hello

I found some other threads on this, but couldn't see any with a part number. Apologies if I should've resurrected an old one; mods, please let me know if so.

I picked up the 500 a couple of weeks back, and (after reading the thread on here), thought I'd try some iridium plugs. When I took the airbox off to access them, I noticed that the seal to the throttle body wasn't on properly. Closer inspection revealed this, it wasn't doing much sealing!:

I had a read around on here, and couldn't find a part number. Searching online only got a couple of hits, that came to about £40 after postage. An uncharacteristic brainwave led me to see if there was anything for a Ford Ka...:

It cost me £4.99 posted from official-ford-store on eBay; I've just fitted it now, and all is well.

Hopefully this is useful to someone, let me know if the thread needs moving.

Thanks
Andrew
 
Don’t suppose you could post the link to the eBay store could you? I’m having difficulty finding it!
Great find!! I have been searching for age
Enter eBay, type Ford store into the main search bar and Bob should be your uncle. Cheapest I can see this part is £10.93 as of Oct 10th 2023.
