What a pain!
Sorry for getting your hopes up. I see you've posted on the 260's too so hopefully someone will turn up with something. I've never known one to seize up before (possible if it's been stood for a while though I guess). Good luck getting it sorted. |

So I have reconfirmed in the flesh that it was seized in the outer as previously it was a phone conversation, although I had been quite specific about where it was seized, and he said he had a set of pliers on it and yanked for all he was worth and it wouldn't budge. He would have just changed it himself without even informing me, but the Pagid set he ordered were both the same length, so he called as he knew I had said I had access to some parts if required. so I now know its the Long Drivers side cable that I actually NEED, though if I did manage to source the uprated version I would obviously get him to fit the pair. He's reiterated that he would hope to get them swapped out without damage to the backplates but he hasn't started the actual removal etc until he has the spares to hand, which is fair enough, so ill give it a few days for some to potentially surface then just buy a std. set :/ No worries on getting me excited lol doesn't take much these days... Life isn't exactly a Box of chocolates at the moment ... NIck |

I had one drop out of its clip and rest on the exhaust. Melted the outer covering allowing water in and corroded the cable.
