Haha - yeah simon mentioned the TPS back on page 1 - the unit was checked and deemed ok. Even a specialist said I needed another new box!

Turns out the TPS malfunctions after 20 mins of driving/or when engine gets up to temp. It's all very peculiar....at least it's sorted.

Cheers all involved.

funny thing - unless I sub consciously read something about it - just not sinking in

I did read that this was a gadget to change 1st with such problems

An update on my problem (I'm the Original Poster!)

Following suggestions, I've changed the fuel filter (see earlier posts including my brain malfunction) - no improvement, and changed the ATF fluid - no improvement. I've written up these procedures with photos by the way see http://howto.probably.me.uk/fuelfilter.html and http://howto.probably.me.uk/atf.html.

So I'm now back where I started. Reading recent posts here I'm now wondering about the TPS. Where is it, how do I access it, where to get a replacement, approximate cost? Many thanks if anyone can respond.
