Failure of the VVC system?

thanks alex how can i check that?

I don't know about the S1, but the S2 111S limited the revs when its cold, so it might be as simple as a failed temperature sensor?

This happened to my MGF VVC about 4 years ago. It turned out to be plug to the VVC that had not been reconnected properly. It cost £70 to diagnose and fix, much to my relief.

I have not idea where you are located by Summit MG in Maidenhead really know their VVC's, so much so in fact that I take my S1 111S back each time something needs sorting.

Hope this helps.
