Marie's on the road again, wearing different clothes again. If only we knew someone to record it with those words.

Just don't ask @barryd !

Only joking, Barry

You know sometimes I miss the old forum smileys.
I like a good smiley. All these new ones a la FarceBook just don't cut it for me.

Hmm. You know you're getting really old when you start getting nostalgic about bits of t'interweb!

Sorry to hear plight, Marie? When in business we used a company called https://www.cable-tec.co.uk/ for our cables. We could pop along and they built us new cables while we waited.

Thank you, it's all sorted now.

Speedy Cables did the job alright, just not very speedily...

The bottom line is I think it was probably left hanging round on someone's workbench. It was definitely only done on the day they posted it back, over 3 weeks after they received it. We know this as the garage said Speedy had phoned them that same morning to double check measurements.

Also I think Speedy were maybe a bit baffled that the garage hadn't been able to adjust the cable themselves? Someone else has suggested it might have been possible to safely re-route the slightly longer cable and no need to shorten in the first place as everything else regarding the brake cable fitted correctly for that model chassis/engine.
