I explain to Dave the issue we had and he put the car on the rollers and gave it a power run. Sure enough, we had very little power and made 108bhp at the flywheel. So it was up with the bonnet and took the air filter off. Dave took one look at it and asked, "why do the throttles only open half way?" Umhh, good question. He then said, "aren't these engines limited to 106bhp in Germany?". That was to much of a coincidence - Bingo!!
So, Dave took the covers off the throttle bodies and within about 5 minutes he had removed the plastic restrictors. The following picture shows the offending bits of plastic. We refitted the covers and Dave ran the car up on the rollers again.
