The High low switch will change the throttle response.
I would investigate that further. If I remember right the throttle will be programmed for road behavior (quick response) if the connection is open. If the connection is closed It would be in Off-road mode so less sensitive response.

So check with a Nanocom or similar what the ECU thinks in what position it is. Roel

2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts.

It was modified to keep it out of harms way, so cable ran to the 'pot'. This is just normally at the side of the pedal. QRZ 2e0vpf

The spare potentiometer could be a good move, is this the same across all years?


Early ones were two track later ones were three track. Mines a later three track. Shout if you want to try it.

Finally got around to removing the cubby box and found the hi/low plug. Bridged the contacts and throttle pedal still lazy. Next is some contact cleaner on the throttle pedal and see what gives. 1999 Defender TD5 110
