Throttle Control Knob
Hi Guys
I need to remove the lower dash panel under the steering wheel that surrounds the fuse box, bonnet latch, fuel latch etc on my TD42i, i found all the usual bolts and screws, but i cannot find anyway of removing the throttle control knob that connects to a cable that runs through the panel that i want to remove.
I have checked the manuals and cannot even find any reference to it.
Has anyone got any idea how to remove the knob so i can pull the plastic dash cover off ? it beats the hell outta me.
Thanks.

An old friend back in the mid 90's uneducated like some of us were was using the throttle control on his Toyota hilux on a long trip as cruise control.
Note: dangerous, do not do this!
Long straight for a many kms on a highway and up came a long warning for a very sharp bend recommendation to drop to 50km/h
Undid the control and it popped out and was still locked on at 110 km/h
Not far off the bend and screams came on the uhf of trouble and advice to turn engine off.
He turned ignition switch all the way off though and had steering lock in which another cry for help came on radio lol

Or at least give it a good wd40 before each trip!

Can't believe it's possible to "cruise" with the throttle tap ? Can only pull mine out to probably 1000-1100 max? Definitely not enough to give it "cruise" power.
And if i set it to say 1000rpm or so... And then I push the accelerator past that point, it automatically disengages the throttle knob.
Could this be a safety mechanism against what happened up there or, is mine just stuffed somehow.

FWIW I can get a sight more than 1100 out of mine
