Engine max revving after fitting new seats!

Hi
I’ve just finished installing a reclaimed leather interior to replace the tatty orange seats in our 2010 C30. Reconnected the battery and fired up the ignition. No faults codes. Started the engine and full revs. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. I’ve called breakdown assistance but what’s going on? Any advice gratefully received. I’ll be gutted if the seats are no good….

We’ll this is embarrassing. I’d trapped the accelerator under the carpet when refitting without realising.
