Handbreak cable knackered!
« on: 16 December 2007, 17:46 »
Hey,

Last night I pulled up and went too apply the handbreak but something snapped...
Had a look today while bored sh!tless @ the parent-in-laws and found that it is 1 of the 2 cables that snapped.
The area of the cable that snapped had rusted...

So on an 89 G reg Golf Driver, would I use a rear drum brake cable or a rear disc brake cable?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

May as well replace both at the same time - chances are t'other one is stretched to feck anyway...  :wink:

Well, i'm gonna see what condition it is in when I get under the car, if it needs to be replaced then I'll get another, I know it seem more hassle to most people that way but hey, what else do I have to do on weekends?!
