   Hi all,
   
   My throttle cable snapped yesterday so went and bought a new one today, but damn there's a lot of stuff that goes with it.
   
   Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on what goes where and with what, and the best way to fit it all.
   
   Pictures of the cable and other bits and bobs that came with it.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Any help is massively appreciated.
   
   Many thanks,
   
   Andy

   Mine snapped too a little while ago. All i did was bought the same kit as you, but just used the cable itself and fed it through the cable casing. 5 minute job that way. Then just set your butterlfy clip on the cable (Under throttle body) to take up all slack in the cable, but still maintaining normal idle speed.

   Sorry may have seemed unclear above. Take out snapped cable from the cable casing on the car leaving the cable casing itself on the car. Then just feed new cable through and conect it all up and adjust it

   So pretty much just use the metal wire and the screw bit for the end to go onto the throttle body, don't use any of the tubing etc...?
