Went to collect Hymer that had sailed through MOT and service, feeling pleased. No more than 3 miles from the Newark dealer and as I'm about to slow down approaching a roundabout I find the throttle wide open and end up braking hard with clutch down and 4000 plus reving engine! Just managed to pull up on damp road!
Manage to limp back to dealer, still shaking from shock, engine revs all over the place, engine red light flashing.
It seems that, by nothing more than coincidence, that throttle pedal sensor has failed. Price from Fiat £186 plus vat and 5 days to deliver.
Now sat on train from Newark to home...the part number is 1337493080. A quick google is showing these considerably cheaper and looking a common enough part. Anyone had this?
It's 2.8jtd by the way.
