I'm still here with my 2002 156 JTS and its various eccentricities, I just
don't worry about them any more!

Its latest one is a cough: its fine if I accellerator hard or gently, but
medium accelleration and it splutters, coughs and beep-beep-beep- 'Motor
Control Failure Go To Dealer'. I just back off for a moment (less than a
second), until the cough has finished then accellerate hard instead and its
fine. Someone (Catman?) said its probably the throttle sensor on the pedal,
so I'll squirt it with WD40 when I'm next in the shed and see what happens!
