    Hey, some little advise... What ever you do, dont buy the cheap ones from europarts, I bought a clutch cable from euro parts only to find out the white head bit is like thick compared to the one that had been snapped

    Pop down to the dealers and get a brand new one, Its about 31pounds and it'll fit straight on!

    Today has been the 6th day my saxo has been parked in the garage, only to find out I have got the wrong cable.


    Good luck fitting it on

    I got quoted something like £31 for the cable clutch from citroen dealers

    £25 pound to fit at my local garage.
