+ 1 for throttle body.
Had exactly this with mine a few weeks ago. Old TB was made by VDO and the new one was a Continental part. To date my servicing agent hadn't seen a Continental part fail but has seen numerous VDO parts fail. He or I aren't claiming anything by this, just an observation.  :happy2:

Fitted new plugs and gave the car a good thrashing and diddent miss a beat. No limp mode so hopefully i got away with just fitting plugs. :smiley: :happy2: :laugh:
