Easiest cure is change the cable yes, will make a huge difference.

Hehe only winding youz up!!! solved it anyway mate.... the pivot was FULL of cr@p due to the amount of cr@p in the footwells (and everywhere else!) Good clean up and grease up solved the problem, replaced the zorst today as well. Found it was fine on the underside but rotten on the top!!!! Turns out its an irish import lol

she got her warts removed and nails polished this aftaz and starting to look a million bucks. she had an odd alloy on the front (gun metal grey one)... off a T5 R i thinks?? the rest are silver and thought shed been kirbed at some point in time but found the other silver one in the back so have 4 silver and one gun metal fella?!?!?!?!?! god knows how that happened but am not complaining

anyways am off for a shower coz am still picking liquorish allsorts outa my crack from drivin her before she was cleaned.... this guy had 3 kids that should have been tied to the roof rack with bungie cords not let loose on those lurvaly leather seats! but the most worrying thing was the George Michael tape found in the digi.....
