Y'all are doing it wrong if it's leaking that often. In VT we get extreme temp changes, almost to 100, to negative 30. Mine didn't leak after I changed it.

Well neither did mine - until it did. Fact is they should NEVER leak...EVER.
Anybody ever heard any feedback on the Falconworks bronze replacement throttle body heater plate?

Mine's leaking again and might just be worth it to pony up $230 for this stupid part.
I once replaced mine with an aftermarket kit and it didn't last long.
The next time I replaced it with a genuine kit from the dealer. The gasket had steel imbedded in it and I was told it was an "updated kit". Perhaps this one will solve the problem.
I also took the time to actually remove the throttle body (had to buy an extra gasket) and clean everything up on the bench. Its tempting to just whack on a new gasket in place........

My old throttle body starting leaking again during the summer (4 years after the last gasket replacement). I ended up ordering the Falconwerks brass body. It has been 6 months now. Will report back in a couple of years.
Thanks, I'll be here.
Contemplating whether or not to spend the $229.12 on the upgraded part.
Living in northern Canada the temps we get easily exceed that range. But since we acquired the 2001 disco 11 in 2004 we've put 374,000km on it and the only two parts that have given us undue grief are the throttle body heater and the top coolant hose 'T' connection with the bleeder screw. But this shop has solved both of those problems for me and the disco is still running strong. We've already had our first snow of the year and I know I can rely on those two pieces to work from now on. Just made it the way it should have been made in the first placeCheck this thread for an excellent solution to the Throttle body heater (THB) leaking issue. It's a very good solution.
