Is this a common problem as my car is 18 months old and the cable has already gone??

It was but a replacement unit was developed and can be retro fitted to prevent it occuring. Can't remember the price, somewhere about £140 rings a bell.

Yep common problem. The replacement unit is £70 from Offord. Pretty easy to fix too.

Ah!, so that's why I saw your motor on the back of a recovery truck passing my house the other day.

Glad it was not too serious mate.

It wasn't D&G that recovered your car was it?

Unfortunately they had to recover my Chim on Sat (failed water pump) and the guy mentioned picking up a tuscan with a snapped throttle cable!
