How big a job is it to remove the throttle cable? I noticed mine is missing the rubber boot at the front (not sure if replacements are available?
Probably worth me removing and cleaning mine, as I'm not sure how long it's been gone.
Also a good change to double check I have the correct spare!

Pretty easy job Richard. Although not one you want to do on the side of the road if you can avoid it. Mine broke at the very front. Very exposed to the weather up there. I always carry a spare. Lots of posts on the site about getting the right one for our Syncros. I can give you the exact part number if needed. I think I got my spare from JK.

I concur with Peter.
When I did my Subaru upgrade I replaced my petrol accelerator cable with a diesel version.
I used the old one to pull the new one through all the tubes etc to the engine bay.
Took a lot less time than I expected.
Getting the tension right took a bit of playing but otherwise an easy job.
Cheers,
Scott

Agree with Ken on the lack of rubber boot for the front end.
I got a rubber bellows to suit a type 1 beetle motor accelerator cable and fitted that at the front to help keep the crud out.
Better than nothing.

Hi Richard,
Easy job for you, compared to pulling the fuel tank!
Correct replacement RHD MV cable is:
There's never been a rubber boot included on the front end of the accelerator cable, so front end of cable and front end of cable delivery tube is fully exposed to all the elements of dust, dirt, moisture etc., and likely a lack of cable lubrication. Hence why the cable eventually fails at the front end inside the delivery tube.
Conveniently, for LHD only models, there is/was a protective metal casing receiver.
I'll see if I can find pics of my R&R accelerator cable and mod install.
Cheers.
Ken
