So everything out of the car so remove the handbrake lever to get the nut off and replace the short cable.

'Genuine MG Rover' short cable doesn't have the square location under the thread to stop it rotating in the lever. Whoever manufactures this part have managed to make a pants design even worst. Congratulations.

HI Ben.
it's best to go with a genuine second hand cable they are good and last, I have seen a few so called new OEM front cable and they are thinner cable also the stub end is not round but hexagon
