I have a feeling my TPS may be a bit dodgy as well.
It's only happened twice so far, but after startup I need to press the accelerator about half way before it registers with the engine and it stays that way until I turn the car off and leave it for 10 minutes or so and fire it back up again then everything is back to normal.
Car is booked in on thursday to be checked over, I'll mention the death of your TPS to them as they haven't heard of anything like it before either.

Will go and see them tomorrow and relay the info about the Tassie failures Wogs, might see if I can convince them to change it as I don't want to risk getting halfway to QLD and suddenly have no go faster peddle.
Did you have any early warning signs, like it happening occasionally and then the final failure or did it just give up and die just the once?
Gotta be Tappy with that!

it did occasionally exhibit strange behaviour in that you would push it half way and nothing happened. Then drove home parked it in the drive way and NOTHING no go fast pedal.

Thanks mate, that's exactly what's happening to me. As I said only twice so far but with an upcoming drive from Bathurst to Noosa in a couple of weeks I don't want to risk getting half way and getting stranded.

can someone put up the drawings for the TPS and ECU and how they communicate and what sensors are involved?

Just heard back from the dealer, they found the TPS to be faulty and have ordered a replacement.
If it wasn't for Wogs, and the forum, I probably wouldn't have even gone to the trouble of having it checked out given that it only happened twice. May have saved me from being stuck in the middle of nowhere on my upcoming drive to QLD!
Cheers guys
