Yeah, fly by wire this one, so a motorised throttle body here.

SWMBO is back. Seems to be better - occasionally drops to below 600rpm causing a judder but no stalls.

Hopefully it will get better as time goes on.

Thanks chaps. Did another "reset" today and sent the wife off for a drive - we'll see if she comes back in one piece. I had a look around and the throttle body can be removed relatively easily. Annoyingly I would need to drain the coolant if I was to replace it. It looked clean*... Couldn't find the...

Yes, burn the motorhome.

It's 3D TV all over again. A lot of hype but ultimately noone cares and will demise pretty quickly.

And, yes, I *hate* those indicators. I have urges to rear end those Aldis... Well, I have that urge to rear end any Aldi but...

You could have just.... paid

Probably worth more than the whole car!

Under the bonnet at the front of the engine to the right of the driver's side headlamp.

My "plate" is on a sticker, which can be peeled off..... Just saying

Thanks Welly, ever so helpful!
