Throttle cable is snapped I said. Recover my car to my home I said.
Oh they said. We can fix that at our garage they said. Lets take it there they said.
Great I said...

...One hour later: "We can't find that part anywhere". :(

So I'm in urgent need of a throttle cable for a 1989 Volvo 340 1.7 or else I'll have to drag my car 20 miles home and I've already got a pretty busy weekend as it is. They've already called Dai and I'm trying to get hold of Brookhouse in Ipswitch. Any other thoughts or if someone happens to have one spare that would be bloody brilliant. :340:

Just a warning, they're not speedy in the time sense of the word... at all. Though they would be able to supply a replacement cable if you send your old one.

There's another one that advertises a lot in the mags who, in 340 circles at least, should be called (and I'll probably be sued for saying this ;-) Slowograph Richfield... I have used neither.
