I suppose it is possible that they both have the same fault.

Thank you very much for the picture, of course its possible both are faulty, if it was the case of when I fitted the replacement and it started it right away again I would have accepted it a bit easier

Was it easy to take apart? What issues did you have, mine is that when accelerating from 2nd gear up it hits a wall and cut then only by dropping a gear and letting the revs slowly build to about 2500 is when boost seems to kick in again and fire it forward.

Like this!
The 2 track - 3 track thing was mentioned in the thing I put the link up to. But this is why we are both saying to compare the two. Still doesn't explain the intermittent thing.
But if you take them apart, as above, you may be lucky and find you can mix and match the resistors, although sods law, the same ones will be worn. But it's a starting point
Tracks look good, but you will need to put it back together and using a multimeter take readings and see how smooth the readings change.

Agree, on the surface the tracks look fine, but the meter should prove it as you say. Maybe the contacts that rub along them have a problem, need to see pics of them too.

Clean it all with contact cleaner before reassembly.

Appreciate your time guys thank you.
Apologise for the questions all I can mostly do is lay down and sit up untill I'm fully operational so I'm spending my time reading about the electrics etc.
I did see a thread on someone having similar problems and someone mentioned the hi/lo switch on the transfer box which tells the ECU about fueling etc.
