Default Carb piece?


Can I buy this piece separate? I did some research and I think it’s the heating plate to the throttle body? It’s leaking coolant and getting into the motor and smoking out from under the hood. Just one more problem I found while trying to figure out what the issue is w my disco II. Limp mode and voltage issues due to positive battery cable. Any help is appreciated

The piece itself is not the problem unless it's cracked or otherwise damaged. New gaskets and/or hose will fix it.
There are many threads on this forum about the throttle body heater. Some people bypass it entirely. The arguments for and against are discussed in detail in all of those other threads.

WELL I need to find these threads bc I’m thinking the same thing. I did however order replacement gasket on eBay for $26 which is way better than anything local.

That's cool, I was just hoping you didn't get only a gasket for $26.

If cost were no object or you really suffered from obsessive tendencies, there's always this by Falconwerks:

Throttle Body Heater plate, bronze upgrade, V8 Discovery & P38a

thank you for the info! That is a huge price difference but seems to will last much longer
