Thanks
@Nodge68.
1. I've added some slack to the cable, I'll measure later to be sure but I'd say there is roughly 10mm movement in the pedal before the throttle starts engaging.
2. My OBD2 diagnostics read the throttle position was 3.9% at rest, I'm not sure if this is correct.
3. I'm not sure how to check the 1st gear switch, is it a condinuiety test? Can it be condinuiety tested without taking it out the car? Is it the switch under the protective shielding at the bottom or the one above?
4. Reverse switch seems fine.
