          it's an easy job to do yourself. You can buy the inner cable, outer sheath and teflon liner. You can remove the old nipple on the throttle body end and reuse it.

            Fit the original cable, but chop the inner cable so you can fit the end to the throttle body. Then call the AA/RAC/WHY, and they should be able to fit a new length of inner cable FOC.

            A friendly local RAC man did mine, and I'm not even a member of the RAC. Top service.

                I bodged mine with a bit of brake line iirc. chop cable, insert brake line. crimp to hell. put it in the original sheath. worked a treat for couple of years.

                    maybe for a car with the wheel on the wrong side.

                    I believe there are loads of cables usable on a left hooker.

                      I have used bike cables and they have failed over time on my Furans set-up, normally where the cable turns

                      best way I found, is to use the inner of a old cable which has a lining on it which makes it more durable and join it with a short length of copper tube to achieve the right length. I then just use a length heat shrink to tidy it up
