The 'check engine' light came on last night and i have followed instruction on previous posts to check the error codes and it came up with the knock and throttle position sensor.

Have booked it in to be looked at on Monday, but will it be safe to drive it over the weekend ? or could i cause more problems ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Dunno bout the throttle sensor, but i've driven for almost 2 weeks with a shagged knock sensor, very much off boost though
It was supplied and fitted for £88

Throttle position sensor is usually a 10 minute DIY fix with a volt meter - sometimes they just get misaligned...

I have some instructions for pre97 TPS alignment somewhere if you don't mind getting your hands dirty...

The knock sensor is another matter though!

I'd say only drive it if there's no alternative, and expect it to drink fuel like a bigger fish than normal. Keep it off boost. I suspect that you'll only be allowed 7 PSI anyway...

Cheers for the advice, i think i'll take it easy over the weekend buy shares in BP !! and let the local dealer sort it out next week.

When my knock sensor went, 2 weeks of off boost driving returned 27mpg
