Hi All
Recently while driving down the road I felt an unusual tightness in my accelerator. Thinking it was nothing I absent mindedly pressed harder on the accelerator to free whatever seemed to be jamming it. Alas, the cable was on it's way out and that was the final straw.
After calling RACQ and getting it towed home I gained some advice from the friendly RACQ truckie that it would not be hard to replace myself.
Any tips or things to be wary of?
I can see that where it attaches to the throttle body is a simple enough affair but I'm not so sure about where it enters the rear of the dash and whether or not it'll be easier to get a professional to do it. I've been told it's a 20 minute job.
Any help appreciated.
