Tried the link I put in above?

Kinda answers your question about the clutch cable....

Throttle cable - no idea.  Ask me in a month's time when we've done Dave's.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

You're unlikely to find one, on the basis that it's self-adjusting, so lasts a long time and also from a small number of cars.

Be interested to hear if you find one to fit, cheaper than original.

Great news.  I'm aware a 1.3 clutch cable is supposed to fit, which would be a lot cheaper as it's non-self-adjusting.

I've not tried one myself, but if it *is* that cable you may find it's a bit short for the application, as the actuator bracket points the cable backwards and flat in the engine bay vs the 1.3, which is vertical.
