How hard is it to replace to throttle cable, it was all going too well until it snapped, or the pin has come off on the A23 this arvo, really need to get it going again tomorrow.
Could someone tell me the stages I need to go through in order to do it myself, I cant imagine it's rocket science, really appriciate it , many thanks, Chris.

It explains here but the site I found yesterday had pictures.

Haven't actually replaced it but saw the mechanism when I was replacing my pedals.
Once you've limbered up your back in order to go into the footwell inverted then you can just unhook it, attach the new one to the old one with some gaffer tape then pull it through from under the bonnet.
As you say, not rocket science ! Ideally, train a seven-year-old to do it as they will have hands that are the best size for the job.
Two hours max I reckon (if you have enough space to get the driver's door fully open)
All the best,
He, of broken back !

I did mine a couple of months ago - its a bit fiddly but not too difficult.
I started by getting upside down in the footwell with a little torch and removing the remains of the old cable. Then removed from the engine bay too.
Back upside down, I found it easier to see whats going on by pulling the air pipe out of the way. I pushed the engine end of the new cable out of the grommet, then went outside again and pulled enough out to get it to the bracket. Fixed it in place to the throttle.
Back upside down (again), fed the excess cable in as big a radius as possible up above the pedals then down onto the top of the accel pedal and clipped it in place.
Then back outside a bit of fooling about to get the length right and was all done. Took about an hour all told, and gave me a stiff back the next day.
