Close Shave

[daves2111s]

Heading back from Ludlow 10pm just missed a fox by about 5ft at 70+

 

Then overtaking a couple of cars whilst following another the throttle stuck open at about 60% thank god it wasn't 100%. I had to follow the guy in front of me in fourth with the brakes hard on. Once he moved ahead I tried the only easy option and blipped the throttle again fortunately that sorted it.

When I got home I found the cause.... the small wiring harness to the bootlid closure sensor had moved away from the boot bulk head and it had caught the end of the throttle cable cam on the side of the throttle body.

 

If you have an S2 it might be worth checking this one.....it could have been a lot worse

Failing that, there may be a 5ft tall, 70mph Fox in there

 

Not a funny experience I'm sure
