Does that help?
Only partially David. At least it proves I'm looking in the right place. I've removed the air intake pipes right up to the throttle and moved 'item 10' out of the way. I can see the throttle body like this one:

but can't find where the Throttle Position Sensor is. The one I got from A8parts look like this:

It doesn't help that most of what I can find seems to imply that the TPS is only on cars with a cable throttle, yet contradict other videos where they suggest the TPS is at fault (slow acceleration) on cars with electronic throttle. Totally confused now!
