I was just off out for a nice drive on Sunday arvo, went to to pull away from the lights and the pedal went flat to the floor… ok I thought…maybe a connector has come off, pushed the car around the corner had a look in the engine bay, everything is connected, had a look underneath and the cable connector had broken…grrrrrr

I went past a motor factors just before this happened so walked back up the road and luckily they were open, I bowled in and explained my plight, the guy was like errr…. No sorry we’ve got nothing you could use, undeterred I had a good root around for something that would possibly get me home rather than wait for the knights of the road… all I could muster was a pair of fuel line clamps and a spring…filled with optimism I went back to the car, and laying between the curb and the car removed the entire cable and rod to the bell crank and in true Magaiver style managed to connect them together like so…

Put it all back together and went happily on back home, infact my botch repair lasted for 2 days on the daily commute as well…
A quick call to brays for a replacement item Monday morning to order a replacement part, £18.. Ok whats so special about it then…you can see the new one has a steel case so if it happens again the steel case keeps everything together… much better

just fitted the new and improved bit this evening, greased up the cable so I'm good for a lead footed drive to work tomorrow once again

Moral… don’t let this daft little piece ruin a drive out for you, check you’ve got the updated steel cased linkage before you get stuck
