There is throttle position reset procedure and idle air reset procedure. both are in the guides section . Have a go at them before you spend any money.

 

Also, poorly batteries do funny things to the zed. If its gone into deep discharge probably worth getting a new one.

I've got a good towing bar you're welcome to borrow. I'm in Trowbridge.

Hi mate,

 

Mine was sorn all winter too and I had pretty much exactly the same problem as you - jump started it but it only went into limp mode with various error codes. Here is my thread:

Before you take it to a garage, get the car started and let it run for a good 20-30 mins to get the battery charged up and then take it for a drive. Hopefully this will get your battery back up to proper operating capacity.

 

You will then need to do an ecu reset to clear the fault codes.

 

After that it should hopefully be fine - if any error codes return then get them checked out.

 

Good luck
