Handbrake Cable

[noble1978]

Anyone know the part # and/or where to source one? My car has an m.o.t. shortly and the cable is pretty dodgy.

Noble only IIRC.

Surely it must be off something else?

You telling me noble designed a handbrake cable?

Whats dodgy about the cable?

[noble1978]

It must be corroding from the inside as it's really stiff till i work it a few times. Have had both wheels off and its not the shoes or the mechanisms at the wheels.

Any further thoughts?

When my gearchange cable needed replacing (c£150 from the stealers)I got a specialist to make me one using the old one as a pattern. Saved over £100

They do all types of cables.
Just an idea!

Check the cable housing for scorch marks or other heat damage - I've seen a number of cars where the liner inside the housing has melted from the heat of the front turbo/downpipe. When you replace it, be sure to route it as far away as possible from the turbo, downpipe, and the rest of the exhaust. Some heat sheathing is a very good idea, too.
