[Andyvalver]

I knew they would tow you home mate. As soon as they see its a williams or a valver they think......**** that lol :D

happened on my valver coming out of work, still drove it home though lol, part was about £15 from renault, got my local mechanic to fit it, said he never wanted to do it again though!

right andyvalver sent me this pic! obviously the airbox has to be taken out! then i unhook that below!



then what?
do pull the old snapped cable back thru there?? and feed the new cable thru from the pedal? or do i feed the new one the from the clutch end? i will get the front end up on some ramps.

[Andyvalver]

You dont need ramps. You need to unhook the cable in the pic and pull it from the box. Take off your heat shield and you should be able to see where it goes into the bulkhead to the pedal. Dont pull it stright out, try and attatch the new cable too it so you can pull it through with the old one. If that fails the tie some wire to the new one and thread that through. Tis a pain in the arse and you could really do with a mate to pull it through while you feed it in. Once its through, attarch to the pedal which also can be fiddly then route it all the way back to the box and have fun trying to get it back on that end. :D
