Clearing the fault code will not fix it if there is an actual fault. Put the diagnostic back on and see if the fault code has reoccurred. Throttle position sensor and/or throttle body and associated wiring could be faulty. Need to dig deeper.
Okay I will see if I can get it plugged in tomorrow. The defender used to have an electronic hand throttle accompanied by its own ecu that spliced into the main loom in the landy, I assumed that may have caused the parameter discrepancy but I never considered the TPS until tonight. I’m my mind the symptoms I have didn’t relate to the TPS but that’s because I know bugger all about it in the first place.
Cheers for your help so far
Just to put an end/result to this thread, I didn’t get round to plugging it in as I couldn’t get to my mates garage so I took peoples advice on the previous posts and replaced the MAF meter with a genuine VDO part and the problem is no more. Turns out the faulty MAF was aftermarket not genuine.
Thank you all who offered advice on this, much appreciated

Just enjoy it while it's going OK the TD5 is a great engine but it has a few weaknesses mainly related to the fuel system.
Excellent result ,i have had the same symptoms for ages and have also replaced injector loom , filters ,non return valves etc . The MAF was also on my mind , but now i will order one today ! Thanks for posting the end solution ,many people don’t.
No mither mate. Many times I’ve been researching problems/threads thinking I’m getting somewhere then there’s no end to it which is damn frustrating. Hope you get yours sorted
