As title, genuine or pattern part? And best place to get 1 ASAP?

Yes discontinued now, well according to my local RD. Northy I'm not sure tbh, I had a call from mot man saying mine had seized and is held on behind pedal with a cable tie, so it needs replacing. I thought it was a one piece thing? Take it I'm wrong?

You can buy the clip part for the pedal on ebay - which comes in a aftermarket kit.

if the cable has seized it is normally due to the heat from the exhaust manifold

I've got the kit above off eBay which means I now have the clip, but what are my options for the cable itself? Discontinued at reno now so it's a pattern part only. Has anyone bought a replacement from a parts outlet that has been a good fit? I read alot on the forum, but never recall a post regarding the throttle cable and what the deal is with them.

I had an aftermarket one fitted and it just about fitted. Their isn't a proper clip to hold it to the throttle (in the engine) so it threads though and is bolted to stop it coming back through.

could give this a go??! http://www.ebay.fr/itm/cable-daccelerateur-renault-clio-williams-16s-/262132866667?hash=item3d08561e6b:g:O20AAOSwT6pV3iv 0

although I think sits left hand drive hence the length..

Yeah spotted that mate, the left hand drive issue ended all interest though tbh
Matt Brown may have 1, I'm waiting for him to reply:neutral:
