Use it then flog it on ebay if you don't intend keeping the car any length of time  :grin:

 :laugh: I'll never be selling it - sadly the only way it'll ever leave my posession is if it gets written off (i've said that about 4 cars now  :sad:)

I can't really justify the cost at the moment as i've not only got the correct spline key but i've also got a set which includes the one needed so i've got 2 already  :grin:

well when you take the cable out, there should be a red or white plastic gear on the end.  Make sure it dont fall off ;)

Very similar to this:





Oh yeah....mine is red and it was definitely still on there when I left the car last sat. I'll be careful with it! Cheers Jonny  :smiley:

Nick you will need to give it a good tug if it is anything like mine, i replaced my speedo cable in the carpark at work and had to yank the cable to get it out as it was pretty well sealed on. Then the red gear just popped off.  :smiley:
