I have been out for a drive today after managing to sort the TPS issue, kind of, with the information above (Thank you) it gives me something to look at but it drives very well now and there is no urgency to sort the issue out.
Managed to give it a good clean when i got back too.

Good to see you decently mobile again, and the urgency taken out of sorting the TPS/ECU.
Complicated issues like this are often best sorted when not under pressure!

I never realised you were that far from the farm Paul! mind you, you have some lovely roads up there to travel.
Chris i think i need to sit down and look at exactly what ECU i have age wise and what TPS setup it should have, then try and find the specs for that TPS and go from there but for now it works fine which is just as well because i have the engineers report booked in less than two weeks now. Then the fun of dealing with the DVLA!

Absolutely stunning Dean.
Sometimes I think to hell with sorting out the TPS issue, lets just sit and look at the thing for a couple of hours
