Many thanks Sierrafery.
My LR D2 education is on the improve. I need to make myself a Glossary or as I once saw on a delightful Korean Restaurant menu - a "Grocery".
I'm going the TPS route first with a 2nd hand item (experimentation). Do I really need a new one (new price is a bit staggering).
I have found an old AULRO thread using a GM part and an adaptor. Are these still available anywhere?
My repair skills usually result in self-inflicted injury of one sort or another and hideously abused parts - but I'll give it a go. For obvious reasons, I have an excellent first aid kit!

That 2 - 3 track thing is subject of setting with tester so as long as there's no alteration in the ECU setting it's not an issue... anyway 2001 was the transition year from Eu2 to Eu3 so depends on what setup it is cos it can be one of both

No idea.
But I can tell you it is a 2001 TD5 (mid year I think?). I don't have the VIN number with me. The car and I are separated by many thousands of kms. I will have to wait until I get back to Melbourne. Just love my D2!! Gradually improving its mechanicals.
Yes, I probably need to grow a third arm.
An additional question: Is installing a Madman worth it?

2 pot to 3 pot was toward the end of 2001 ( 2002 my )
An update on symptoms:
Is the following the final decider as to the cause of my failure actually being the TPS?
Started D2. Reversed approximately 10m down the driveway. Stopped for traffic. Obviously foot off accelerator and foot on brake. All clear. Foot off brake and on the accelerator. Nothing happens - just sits on idle as if in neutral. Wait for 2 minutes in Neutral with the engine running. Back into Drive and forward we go. Then reverse - no problems for the rest of the day. No hesitation while running nor accelerating. Another good day. Tomorrow? Another Lotto, perchance. In addition, I am positive I am not being visited by a poltergeist.
Does this conclusively (+/- 5% = possible poltergeist) identify the TPS as the evil villain?
