I'm beginning to think I'll have to do that, but it will probably take whole a load of test runs to get anything useful.

I added more info earlier after taking the knee panel off, but it's disappeared.
In summary I can see the unit and its moving properly, no slack no fouling, but is a pig to get at with a big air duct in the way.
I can only see one retaining screw for the duct and taking that out makes no difference, I think all the carpets and trim panels will have to come out first and reveal more fixings.

When it's a bit more springlike I'll probably do that to clean all the carpets etc. after winter and have another look.
If I still can't get the duct out I'll probably hand it over to my garage. I'd take all the trim out anyway before doing that.

But a test run logging the pedal position while recreating the problem would be very instructive. I just have a suspicion that it will show the position signals are correct..... So the sooner I can achieve that the better.
