Also double check that there's no strain on the cable past the end stop - can take some time and two bods to get the throttle pedal stop spot on.

Cheers for the good thoughts folks.

Mike is right - now I need to get my finger out and get it back in the game. Gonna make the o5o7o9 run reasonably sedate and save it for Walshy the week after. That should get my head back in shape as the one thing I've realised driving it, is just how rusty I've become with the lack of seat time... :(
