Accelorator Imobilised
Hi all I am new to this forum not sure if I am doing this right but here goes. I recently bought a Defender 110 pickup as a hobby for my son and myself, we recently went into a bog area and through a couple of puddles nothing too deep, this it seems caused the accelorator to disengage, we were however able to get home as the idle revs in the engin kept us at 10mph in 2nd/3rd gear. Later when the engin was switched off for a couple of hours the problem had gone, this has happened twice. I would appreciate any help.:rolleyes:

Thought so. So we're assuming electrical fault? Probably best to start with stupid things like checking the connections and giving them a good clean. You could save some money if that solves it.

On the grounds that he did a bit of splashing in water I'm guessing that said wet stuff has found its way into the throttle potentiometer.

What do you call 'not too deep'?
