Does anyone have any idea how to reset/relearn the throttle idle position? I keep getting engine repair light randomly and ODB error P2176 - Generic Throttle Actuator Control System Idle Position Not Learned.

The engine is responsive and there's no loss of performance, sometimes is goes by itself, other times I just reset it...

19 plate Crossland 1.2 petrol turbo.

I have come across this before but cannot remember the relearn process unfortunately.
I would suggest to take a look at the connections down on the pedal and see if there is any damage or dirt collecting in the area.
As it seems to be a current fault and is intermittent then quite possibly the connection is loose or some wiring is damaged.

Thank you, I will check the connectors. I've done the relearning as found online: disconnect battery negative (although honestly the positive terminal always ends up being connected last because of the battery cover, as the positive cable goes on the outside), leave for 10 minutes, then turn car on and leave idle for 10 minutes without pressing the acceleration. Did not notice any specific improvements, but it had stopped the error. Had it again today, am super frustrated. Once again, the car does not lose any power, nothing feels different when driving.

Is there any link to the workshop manual for Crossland? I've also purchased an online version, but it is really useless, just shows some diagrams that are extremely general. I would like to attempt to clean the throttle body, which, to me, seems to be at the back of the engine with poor accessibility.

I would be grateful for any advice.

I would say that a throttle body clean up is next on the list - if all wiring and connections are okay then this should be the next thing to do.
There are plenty of videos and tutorials on cleaning and resetting the throttle body on the net and also gives you the opportunity to check hoses, etc for splits, perishing, leaks, etc while you're down at the back of the engine.

Let us know how you get on with it
