Currently the handbrake just goes right to the top, on the passenger side its still connected, but drivers side is sitting like this, is it snapped or has it just worked loose?

Thanks chaps ;)

snapped

[DanTvts]

Yes its snapped. Replace both cables. Easy to do but will have to remove the heat shield above the centre section to get access the other end of the cables.

Been quoted cheapest £90 for both sides, as it includes ' removing front seats, exhaust and heat shields' ??

[DanTvts]

Thats ridiculous. Did mine in 30 mins and it cost me £15 in parts.

[MickyWelsh172]

Wow, and that was by far cheapest, been quoted like £120 - £130 elsewhere!!!

So if you asked them to change a cambelt would they remove the axel to do it?

its pieces of piss

[MickyWelsh172]

No, that would be stupid..... Pretty sure when i looked in Haynes manual, it actually says the same, cos i was mind fucked when he said that!

Want a fiddle job next weekend then, Handbrake & Drop Links ;) Name your price? :drink::drink::drink::y::y::y:

[blackie_2k5]

dont need to remove the seats lol

[DanTvts]

Honestly, removing the seats to change the handbrake cable is beyond ridiculous. I guess £60 would be more reasonable for a garage price, an hours labour and the part.
