Help - Door release cable

[blueg33]

Please help

How in the name of all that is holy do you get in to remove the two nuts on the nylon thread that hold the cable in place behind the lock!

I have removed the speaker panel and using by best gynaechologist skills but I have absolutely zero space to move the spanner, not even 1 mm of swing using my smallest spanner. The nuts are way too tight to undo by hand.

Thanks TVR for yet again turning a 10 minute job into a 10 day nightmare!

Does anyone have any tips?

I have sorted it it. It needs 2 specialist items

1. nrick to point out that the nuts are not as tight as I thought - thanks Neill and thanks for popping round with the throttle cable.

2. The single most useful specialist TVR tool I have found to date, no its not a mini ratchet spanner, or a flexible shaft screwdriver, or a hammer or a tube of glue. It is in fact an 11 year old daughter. Old enough to understand instructions, young enough to have small hands that fit into small places! Relatively cheap too, although it has cost me an extra £1 on her pocket money for 2 weeks.

It is fair to say that this is a total bd of a job, TVR must have assembled the parts before installing the locks.

Oh and to make matters worse I lost the screw that secures the speaker panel. I searched high and low. Sudden brainwave after 20 mins of searcging, it was stuck to the magnet on the back of the speaker along with the screwdriver bit I used to remove it.

My pleasure!

Found just the tool last night, long reach pliers, would have been perfect.
