The accelerator pedal normally sites lower than the other pedals in any case - you may have just not noticed this

Check if you have a throttle cable or are drive by wire

If its a cable, its possible its become slack in the engine bay, though this is unlikely as 99% of 6n2s are drive by wire.

Hi mate, its defo dropped half way, and its hasnt got a cable so obviously the other thing it must have like you mentioned, i did have it in the garage this morning though and he said he thinks its the somethingometer its might be gone on it, i cant remember the whole word , any ideas?, thx bro and kind regards .

Potentiometer maybe

The linkage may have failed that connects the pedal to the sensor.
