Who On Earth told you that!


a throttle position sensor is about £10/15 upwards dependent of brand and model


an entire throttle body, which you shouldn't or wouldn't need to buy brand new, should only be about £20 upwards of youre lucky.

i don't know which model you have, but this is a good example
