Throttle cable

[foot2firewall]

The throttle cable on my S3 is stretched and the nylon adjuster has snapped, all of which probably explains a certain take up lag!

I've seen plenty of information on the forum about replacing the inner cable - can anyone confirm what the source is for the outer cable. I've got as far as it is a Ford part (no longer available), but is it Scorpio, Granada or Sierra and will any one fit or do I need one for a specific model?

Granada 2.9i manual RHD if I remember correctly,rare as hens teeth.
Ford now obsolete, as you say, and I couldn't find a replacement from any "after market" manufacturers...... so I came up with this using a Capri / Cortina cable (still readily available)





Maybe you can cobble something up with the adjuster off another Ford cable ?? Good luck.

Hi there , further to philpots reply , the same part is fitted to manual sierra 4x4 cars , i have picked up one from ebay but i also had an old one repaired at speedy cables in wales , i think it was around £20 inc postage and very good it is too , as mike said though good luck in getting hold of one !
Hope that helps ,
cheers paul.
