My guess is that it's gone out of range.

You *maybe* could try to clean it with some electronic switch cleaner (Maplin, £3 a bottle) but it's probably a fairly well sealed unit, so replacement may be the only option

Cheers,

I think the TPS on the v6 engines is the little black box on the front right of the plenum??? Mounted on the side of the throttle body??

They have a different connect on the mini facelifts I think so you will need a replacement from an older v6...
