Had my first official squeaky bum moment today

As title says, after 3 years on the road I had my first truly terrifying moment. Overtaking a lorry on the M25 whilst in lane 3, start climbing a hill and car enters into limp mode without warning. Driving up a hill at 15mph after managing to get to lane 1 with Lorries screaming up behind me was by far the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.

Managed to get into some roadworks and got recovered to South Mimms, just got home with my wallet £200 lighter (family rented a low loader/transporter, the AA wanted £450 to get me home).

Diagnosis of the issue, Throttle/Accelerator Position Sensor failure. Not what you want happening in lane 3 of the M25.

Sorry to any journeys I impacted whilst I was bricking it today!
