mhm its obviously a diesel as they do indeed have a small throttle cable from the linkage to the fuel injection pump
 
As it be a diesel it has a high pressue pump that feeds the the injectors, (no carbratooter) this fits in the hole that would be taken up by the dizzy on the petrol variant of the block, anywho between the throttle arm on this and the throttle linkage on the bulk head there is a cable as i said before its aboot 10" long i will get a photo of it if this would help
