Hi does any one know the part number for a throtal cable for a 88/89 S1? I bought a ford pt num 6720349 (which is the part number given on PistonHeads) but its not the right one. Any one help?

I would just get one from your favorite dealer if I were you. Same goes for most parts unless you are 100% sure you can source the identical part for significantly less. By the way, when you replace the cable check what caused the old one to fail. If its misaligned or the pedal is adjusted too high the new one will be kinked and soon fail too. Similarly if you tend to bury your right foot in the carpet you can easily overstretch the cable and it will eventually break, a throttle stop will cure this.

That's the one I bought.

Ford 2.9 Granada 1990 Manual :-

Throttle Cable - Ford Part No 6720349
In my opinion it is also worth buying an End Retaining Clip - Ford Part No 6142979

Haven't tried fitting it yet. Will this fit a 91 S3?

Yes. It's the standard manual Sierra / Granada V6 2.9 part which fits all 2.9 engined S series.

But it almost certainly won't fit an S1 2.8
I assume that it will need the cable for a Sierra or Granda V6 2.8

(Edited to add "manual", in case anyone ends up buying the expensive auto version with kick-down microswitch)

Cheers all, the cable is not damaged its the plastic adjusting bit on the end thats broken & it all comes as one (it was like this when I bought the car 4 weeks ago, just never got round to fixing it)!

I am afraid to say that the cable for the S1 is no longer available from either TVR or FORD but if it is just the plastic mounting clip that is broken you should be able to make up a bracket to hold it.
sorry for bad news DB

So if you have an S1 what do you do? Not that I do, just curious.
