Righto - who was to know a TPS does that much!!!! I now have a perfectly working TC, the gears aren't flaring and are changing well (early, but firm and quite frankly, I'm ok with that).

I reckon there was a range of problems all at once and the coil problem just bought them to the surface - TC now working, gears smooth, and funnily enough the air con which was playing up and working when it wanted will now not fault!! Add to that, the gearbox is now noticeably cooler (not working as hard). This will do quite frankly till I get the ignition system and petrol back in a couple of weeks time.

What a saga for something so seemingly innocuous ...

Thanks all so much for your input and help - always greatly appreciated !!!

Glad you got it sorted mate, sorry I was of no help. At least we had a beer and quick catch up

So does the tacho still fluctuate?
