I was right....****ing knobs everywhere

Ok guys, not the carb, the throttle linkage to the engines fuel supply. We don't all work on landrovers, some of us just own them for other needs.

Had another look this morning and even using the carb itself to rev the engine, it won't climb above a certain point and what sounds like some kind of relay, (a high tappet noise), is not happy and seems to be inhibiting the revs from climbing.

Some right effin knobs on here ain't there!

Too late and too dark to go check the motor at the roadside. That and the fact it's minus 6 here just now.

There's definately a throttle cable as i've revved the engine from under the bonnet using it. The engine did rev when throttle pressed down, but revs wouldn't climb significantly.

I ain't got a clue why that would allow the engine to still run at lower revs. I made it home, but at a trundle.

"Fly by wire"?

Just had to power pack jump start my defender. Drove ok for two miles and then was left at just over idle to help charge the battery. 20 minutes later there appeared to be a slightly higher tappet noise from the engine and it wouldn't rev to any height at all and i've had to limp back to home...
