Is it worth carrying one of these around with you incase this happens?

Yep this happened on my Tuscan in April. Design fault apparently. I got 2 replacements From Offord Motor Co. About £70 each inc VAT.

Basically the problem was the original cable used a plastic and rubber connection at the pedal box which used to slip around under wear and tear and then finally break.

The new version has a screw and bracket which lessens the angle of attack into the bulkhead (stop it chaffing by all accounts). I carry a spare in the boot and the new one has improved throttle response no end!!! Good luck fella!

Cheers
