2007 mini R56

I don't know. I've performed walnut blasting on my BMW 335i, and didn't have any issues. Granted it's not the same car, but BMW makes the MINI.
I just read this thread.

When my wife gets back with her Cooper, I'll plug in my foxwell NT510 and see if I can access throttle body position/adaptations. If I can, I'll let you know. You can find a NT510 for about $150.00. I used it to fix my SZL fault after I changed my clutch and took the car into the dealer for a steering angle reset. The dealer told me I needed a new $1000.00 SZL module. That was total BS!!!
I just had to align the steering wheel with the front wheels; they lost the common reference point when I was taking things apart. Once I told the steering wheel where zero degrees was and the front wheels were pointing straight, I connected the steering wheel and reset the steering angle sensor. Then I cleared out all the fault codes, and I was good to go. Your fix might be just as simple.

I checked the Cooper with the NT510, and I don't see a test for the throttle actuator or as it's called in the Bentley manual "throttle housing" (EDK); there's an live test feature for the accelerator pedal module (PWG), but that won't help. I'll hook up my GT80 MINI when she gets back again.
I also looked at the schematics for the N12, N14, N16, and N18. All throttle actuator circuits are identical down to the connector and pin numbers.
Since you have the P2102 (control motor circuit low); I suspect you aren't getting voltage to the actuator. If that's true, changing the throttle housing won't help.

Good News Sasto The NT510 may be able to help you.
If you are able to acquire one, here is the menu tree to the throttle angle sensor. From there, you will be able to tell if the throttle angle sensor is correctly reporting its position.
Menu:
Drive
-5 Engine DME
-- Live Data
--- 8 Air Supply
---- Throttle Angle (Select)
The press F3 to see the live data; the display will look like this
