Hi
I came home from a fairly brisk 50 mile run in my 1999 TD5 Defender 110 yesterday, and I stopped to pick my son up and after starting up again after about 10 minutes, there wasn't any response from the accelerator pedal.
The Defender started fine, just nothing from the pedal.
I turn the engine off, and re-started, and all was back to normal.

Any Ideas?????

Thanks

Great advice, and a good link.
I'll clean the sensor in the morning, and see how she goes.
Thanks.
