Talk about the bleedin' obvious...
The throttle position sensor had somehow become disconnected. DOH!!!
Sorted, thank every derity I can think of. I still have the EML, though, but I presume that will clear once I start driving the car.

I have heard 30 min but I have also heard that discounting the battery does not reset anything. You could leave it disconnected over night. I am more inclined to think it is something you did, sorry. Make sure everything is plugged in properly and no hoses or connectors are broken. Take your time doing this to make sure you have not missed it a second time.
P1229 Throttle Position Sensor adaptation error
sounds like all the codes have to do with the throttle. I would start by checking around the throttle body.
this page may be helpful for codes.

I spent a month on one of my cars only to find I had dislodged one of the pens on the ECU. I had checked it more than once, I had decided it was a bad sensor but no it was me after all. I got to hear I told you so from the wife. Crow does not taste good.
let us know what you find tomorrow-

Thanks for that. Does the EML reset itself after the problem is solved, or does it need to be reset with a MINI-specific code reader, do you know?
