Steve...
Sorry - it means you have a private message :wink:
Have a look at the top of the page (to the right of the mud-club logo) - it should say either log in to check your messages, or you have 1 new message.

Update time:
Went back yesterday and and the fault codes have gone, except one - 'driver demand circuit'. My landy specialist thinks this is still down to oil in the main engine harness as it comes up as an intermittent fault. His suggestion is because its not that bad and I had not noticed the problem before, to run the motor for a couple of months, still cleaning the oil that will come out at the ECU and if it does not cure itself, then look at the throttle pedal. Rather than spend more money straight away on a new throttle pedal.
Graeme: STW'ers here!
Where's this map sensor? I might clean it anyway.
Porny:
The map sensor is on the side of the inlet manifold... the mounting is circled in the below picture :wink:
Driver Demand problem...
Could be a couple of things, and not always the throttle pedal in my experience.
If you did want a spare throttle pedal to try - let me know :wink:
Other problems that cause the same fault:
Plug not correctly clipped in place on the throttle pedal itself (was quite common at one point) - would be worth unpluging, giving it a clean and making sure it clicks in place correctly.
And a fault in wiring from the ECU to the pedal - I've known this to occur a couple of times. Easiest method of fixing it is to make up a new mini loom from the pedal to the ECU... and problem fixed :wink:
