Re: accelerator needs more pressure

i dont believe there is a cable. i had a look in the engine and couldnt see one and when i read the haynes manual i read that there isnt a cable as its done electriconically. is there a way to adjust it manually or would it be a garage jobby? http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc184/markkipper/100_0...

my mum has a 6n and the accelerator is very nice and responsive.
