I would hardly say it happens often nor would I say it's a one off as it did jam open upon just starting the car the other month and then today for some reason whilst driving it jammed open.

yep, all seems fine although a bit dry which could be the cause.
One thing I did notice (apologies for the poor terminology here) but when pulling the throttle wheel the car revs fine then the small pulley to the left rattles as the engine is reducing revs, it sounds asthough a screw/bolt is loose or that kind of sound.
Unfortunately without taking the casing off it's hard to properly see

Somehow I don't think they will see the funny side.............:ohmy:

Sad mine defo isn't mat related might be worth giving them a shout, although I can see them turning round saying my car's too old (2000X)
