[Jim-Bob]

As above where can i get one?

Need one with the threaded end, but can't find any at all?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

what you mean threaded end?

The little brass nipple you put the cable through ?

I'm using a bike gear change cable and black cable, then using a brass nipple on the other end - should do the job nicely :)

just go to your nearest motor factors and they will stock it

Sandy said I need one with a threaded end?

Normal 8v one?

put up a picture of your throttle cable quadrant on the TB's (where the throttle cable attaches to them)

Will do later mate, not sure if it gets a new when colin satchell gets hold of it though?

Maybe just get Colin/Sandy to sort you out a throttle cable ?

Might be the best idea I'll upload a pic tonight and then go from there, iirc it's the linkage that they modify not the connector?

Just re read my PMs and it's the screw on brass nipple type I need like you said Ross...iFail

Do all 8v's have that type?

The original cables don't, but replacement cables tend to have a screw on nipple at the engine end.

mine snapped on my 1.1 had to get it from citroen as auto spares dont stock them.

Could you post a pic of it so I can confirm it's the right one?

How many miles has it done/what condition is it in?

go to a euro parts and order a replacement rallye cable, same as the xantia and 406, the cable is huge and you cut it down to lenght, it has a threaded brass nipple on and this will do spot on, krys' must have had a replacement in the past

iirc theyre £11.60 or something, got one last week for my quicky as ive got a rallye inlet and chucked out my other cable but the quicky one doesnt fit

Yeah i was looking into buying another cable but i'm puzzled, As my rallye cable is not long enough for the 16v engine, but when i look into buying one it says will fit rallye gti and all that jazz but how can it possibly if they are different sizes?

the cables come huge as a replacement, yours must have been cut down so that it was only as long as needed before it was fitted, uncut you could fit them to any

[Jim-Bob]

Is this the one blackie?

Yer that will work on any Saxo and 106 engine. All you need to do is cut it down to the right length.

[blackie_2k5]

dont think so mate, be best to ring them and tell them you want a replacement throttle cable for a 106 s1 rallye, he couldnt find one at first for me but them found one, it has on the front
"FKA 1087 KIT ACCALERATOR CITROEN: XANTIA
PEUGEOT: 406"

WORKED A TREAT FOR ME MATE

i just bought a cable off ebay that stated it will fit ANY 106/saxo its just a long bit of cable that you cut down to size, when i fitted my rallye inlet everyone kept saying you need a certain sized one, which i didnt i just bought a general saxo one and it worked fine

most replacement cables are universal, its just the accessories that come with them that "can" be specific to certain models, e.g the adaptors for the pedal and rubber bungs etc
