Roger, did you get to the bottom of this? My garage has a similar vehicle (05 plate) with the same fault and code 02443. The switch has been replaced from TPS and the procedure outlined by Mark has been undertaken with no success. Any ideas from anyone would be most appreciated. I understand TPS keeps the control units in stock which tells me something!
I sometimes think technology has gone too far. Just replaced hand-brake cable on my van (£19) which took an hour. Simples!
Regards
Pete M
