Welcome aboard Warwick mate!
When you get time it might pay to post your query over in the mechanical section for a guru to assist, not all good folks get time to read the intros unfortunately.

Never heard of a petrol 4.8 ltr going into limp mode but happy to be wrong.
First Id disconnect the battery for half and hour to re set everything.
Oh and welcome to the Forum ,most of all renjoy

Me too. I converted my Patrol from Electronic back to mechanical and haven't looked back.
