Default accelerator seems quite hard to push on

It might be me but the accelerator pedal seem quite hard to push on. My other cars are quite easy but not this one. I have set and lubricated the cables (ABS and TB) but it;s still feels strange to be so hard to push down..

Anyone have an idea why or is this normal on these model Jags

Someone recently...within the last few days.... posted a factory TSB regarding this. Go back a few days in this section and you'll find it


Cheers

I recently had a very sticky throttle. Accelerating the car from rest was hard to do smoothly because of the sticking throttle. I have my independent Jag tech dismantle, clean, and reassemble and reinstall the throttle body and I no I have no problems at all.
