C70 handbrake calble replacement cost.

[dickiemint]

How much should I expect to pay for replacement handbrake front cables to be supplied and fitted? Is it an easy job?

Thanks in advance.

Have they snapped?

[dickiemint]

I've been told one has snapped, but also been advised that is best to replace both? Been quoted £240.00 inc.

That does not sound that unreasonable. You can always phone HLM for a quote - but they may be far from you - whereabouts are you?

It not difficult to do yourself if you a familiar with changing brake shoes.

I'm in East Sussex, a bit too far I think?

Gosh.. That 'sounds' like a lot.. Maybe there is a whole kit of bits to do..

Have you tried shopping around? For those sorts of jobs, I tend to use http://www.f1autocentres.co.uk/

I usually use local garages or try and do stuff myself but if not, then they seem to be pretty affordable and I always get a straight job out of them. The Bristol branch are very honest
