I checked my TPS earlier, and the needle shot up to 10,000rpm so i switched off and went back in to work, and borrowed the torx tool ready to sort it out when i got home.
Then as i left work i turned the ignition on and saw the needle stuck at 0rpm, so presumed that was part of the fault.
That's when i noticed the bloody needle has somehow popped under the 0rpm stopper :'(
Question is, do these clocks come apart for me to get to the needle easily enough?
I haven't got time to look at it tonight but was wondering if anyone could point me (and the needle) in the right direction?

Everyone needs to back away from their tps's :lol
You'll have to take the clocks off and take the cover off the clock and rotate it back around the other way by hand

Is that okay to do?
I won't snap anything will i ?

No wont cause any problems. Happened on mine once and it just rotated back

So, d'ya think it's popped over/under the stop pin, or simply just dropped clockwise when i turned the ignition off because the 10,000rpm mark is over to the right side?
The engine was ticking over when i took the photo', the needle goes to about the 5 o'clock mark when switched off.

It did a full revolution clockwise. Dont worry about it. It will be fine.

Cool, cheers Dude ;)

No problem ;)

Sorted......i reckon the needle just dropped the right side through sheer gravity when i turned the ignition off as it did it when i had it apart as well.
Before switching off it was at the 10,000rpm TPS error code which is around the 2 o'clock position.
