What does drive by wire mean? Mine's still not fixed yet. :(

Drive by wire are the later face lift cars that use electickery btween your foot & the throttle rather than a good old fashioned cable.
Yours has a cable.  :y

To be honest I'm a bit scared to mess on with it as I usually break more things!  ;D

I don't ride clutch. No, it's never worked and I tried it several times at 60mph.

It's a diagnostic bit of kit that Vauxhall (& some members here ) use to 'talk' to your car.

Check bowden cable for jams or if snapped.

Or if you know someone capable of using a tech2, ask them to do a live data on it
