The inner throttle cable snapped today, fortunately the car was in the garage, the outer cable housing is fine.. Are replacements available or do we revert to adapting a universal cable ?

I've bodged the cable up for the time being, but I've found a supplier who has a good second hand one. He says as long as it's a Ford 2.9 EFI engine and a ford pedal box, then it will fit. It certainly looks similar. Anyone know if the S3 has a Ford pedal box ?

I've just fitted a good second hand throttle cable from a Granada Scorpio 2.9EFI. It fitted real easy.
The cable is from an automatic car but doesn't seem to have any adjustment in it ?
It's a tad fast on tick over, and I would like to wind it down a bit, has anyone fitted one of these ?
