Going to tackle my clutch cable this weekend and heard its quite simple? Couldn't find a guide anywhere so just wondered if anyone could offer any pointers?

Cheers

You'll find it easier if you've got someone to help, but it's pretty simple. The helper is more to feed the cable through the bulk head.

You will also find it much easier if you take the drivers seat out - there's a lot of lying on your back staring at the pedal box and it's easier with the extra space gained from removing the seat.

thanks for the input. thankfully have a mate helping out now so should manage it between the two of us. couldnt even see the cable at the pedal end when i looked the other day seems pretty well hidden

You'll need to remove the plastic panel above where the pedals sit to access the cable

Cheers Alex. Cable arrived today so will have a go tonight. just spent my lunch break reading your thread actually. 5 years of car love! quality

Cool.

One thing I will say - when you do the adjustment, set it so you take up all the slack in the cable but no more, as this will give you a properly adjusted smooth feeling pedal

Haha - cheers dude. Its certainly been an interesting few years thats for sure!!
