First thing read the codes using pedal trick, could be a simple Throttle Body clean up.

Ah, might have been better to continue on that thread then or to post a "further to my" with a link, if its the same issue. 

Codes?

[albitz]

I have a spare 3.2 throttle body here (which I believe is the same as 2.6 ?) which you could try on your car for elimination purposes if you want.Im not much more than a half hour from Ipswich if you have a spare means of transport to nip down and collect it.

No need to apologise to me matey, just sometimes easier to stick with the original thread, that way other members know some history on the problem and where you've been with it.

Admittedly threads do die, normally when the issue has been solved or people run out of ideas or lose interest in the post. If thats the case, start a new post with some reference to what youve done so far with some reference to the old post or a linky. That way your not reinventing the wheel with the original problem.

Cheers Zirk just want my beast back on the road without it costing me too much cash, will keep forum posted

Update is used throttle not arrived yet ,had another look and opened relay box under bonnet, clicking noise still coming from throttle housing and also put finger on two purple coloured relays which are also  clicking in unison, could this be the problem any ideas?

[Kevin Wood]

The purple relays control the main feed to the engine electronics and the feed to the fuel pump. The former should pull in as soon as the ignition switch is turned to the run position and the latter should pull in for a second or two to prime the fuel pump, then pull in again when cranking and running.

Is this clicking happening as soon as the ignition is turned on, or when cranking the engine?

[Toledodude1973]

thanks Kevin for help. When i put key in ignition slot and to first position i can detect no click or movement from purple relays:Second position rapid clicking from seems both relays and throttle housing:When cranking engine same clicking and engine truns over nicely, hope this helps Paul

[zirk]

Without reading your first thread on this, have you gone down a possible Immobiliser Issue route?

Just a thought. 

[Toledodude1973]

Yes mate ,tried spare key as well ,update now is i've just fitted replacement used throttle housing/sensor unit and no change in symptoms.

did you check multi-plug connectors by battery? did mention ages ago-contacts open up/lose voltage-been there had that on one miggy-that would click and not go-check-what you got to lose mate
