Thanks Philip and yes, you never know with second hand parts unless they have come from a known source.
I drove the beast for about 5 Km today. It started first time without the previous hassles, also hesitated much less when power eased off, then reapplied. This does not necessarily mean it is fixed - it seems to get worse after a long run, then stop-start traffic but it certainly seems to have improved.
Coopers are pulling apart a soft-dash where I and other have already scavenged several parts. They will let me know in the morning if the TPS is available.
Cheers
Alan
