After I'd changed the plugs the engine somehow seemed to sound "crisper." Might have just been my imagination though.

I'll be honest, put my hand up and say I've tried changing the TPS (Yes I am that desperate) - quarter of a turn one way, quarter of a turn the other. No change to the overall problem, so the TPS is back where it started now.

My battery seems to be holding charge, as I don't have any starting problems. I did check that the connections were all fine though. Maybe I should try and find another battery just to check. Could be a busy day tomorrow....

Mine happens mostly in a straight line, but then again I'm extremely tentative in the corners at the moment because I don't want to get thrown off the bloody thing!
