without knowing the trouble codes it could be anything.

However the seller does seem to be pretty up front so i would say that the diagnosis is not a million miles away from the reality, shame as i have just sold my DBW plenium as well  :-/

I am actually wondering if it's a fault with the DBW unit...

They plugged the machine in and they couldn't be more helpful than that?  I suppose it could be the throttle body, but could be bad connection.  They should have at least tried to run TB adaptation.

I don't think RAC/AA have real tech 2's. When mine died a year ago, it would start but not rev much, max speed about 15mph. Not having access to a Tech 2, I had to get it diagonosed by Evans Halshaw who said it was the ECU and wanted £650. (Got a ECU/Keyreader from a scrappy for £45). However there still is a suspicion that it was just the keyreader not liking the key chip, and triggering some sort of anti theft routine.

Happy sniping !

It's either the ECM, the TB, the throttle pedal, or the wiring - with an outside chance of the ABS computer or clocks.  I know that doesn't sound helpful, but if you have access to a Tech2 and spare TB/pedal then you can get pretty far with the diagnosis in 30 minutes or less.

if it was a 2.2 i would have said cam sensor.

Mine did the same thing (minus TC light)

Started, but idle was tad high, press pedal nothing.

Is it worth £500?

I think he's waiting on me to say yes or no before he sells it so I need to be quick.! Shall I bite his hand off?
