Disco Series II 2001 Throttle problem

Hi,
new to the site,
I have a Disco series 2 2001reg
can anyone tell me if the throttle arm can be adjusted.
I have around 1/2" of no response before throttle action,
1/2" at the potentiometer seems a lot on my foot,
you tend to think it is a potentiometer problem,
but my gut feeling says no!
once you taken the play out it performs perfectly,
but does catch out me occasionally.
Any help much appreciated

Is the mechanical linkage through to the pot OK? I suspect the same as you.

We once bought a Merc flatbed off a farmer and it wouldn't go over 30. Not until we replaced the twisted wire in the throttle linkage with the proper bolt and nut...

there is no throttle linkage on the td5, its all electronic, you need to plug it into a tester to read the diagnostic live data,
