I'ts really bugging me now as it's getting worse by the day. Fuel consumption is on the increase too.

Maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet and get someone to look at it. I'm low on cash on the moment though which is why being able to fix it myself would be great, plus that sense of acheivment :mrgreen:

This is the P2101 Fix by 'Delete the connector' for petrol models with throttle pedal problems and a P2101 code

Read fault codes on the petrol C3 using a cheap OBD2 scanner
