Turns out the problem was a ball socket which had to repaired.
Leading evidence: 'ball socket' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'ball socket' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys
Recently my accelerator pedal has taken to sticking, what makes it worse is that it only sticks when fully down (full throttle) which is significantly scarey. Symptoms seem to be that my throttle pedal has always resisted the last tiny bit of throttle movement, like you are pushing a very stiff switch now it occasionally just sticks fully down and when it eventually releases it feels like some kind of "unbinding".
I was accelerating along an A road on full throttle, went to change gear and the engine hit the red line and wouldn't come down, eventually I had to turn the engine off in order to regain control (clutch smelling which I'm sure has done it no good at all).
Anyone experienced this? and/or does anyone know the best way to approach repair?
This link gives a good idea of what's in there, but obviously not for the faint hearted...
I suppose it could be stiction in the short cable as well.

Well I ended up buying the Rennline billet pedal mount (why not as the original is plastic crap) and a set of the alloy pedals and foot rest (looks better, hopefully better for heal/toe) and booked in at Pie Performance to sort out the issue.
Will report back on findings.
Finally fixed!
Turns out the problem was a ball socket which had to repaired.
Ended up costing a lot more than I'd planned but added a Rennline billet hinge and alloy pedals/foot support so hopefully will now remain in a happy place.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
