no idea why. I can get a cable from Halfrauds? I have a traders card so may work out cheapest option.
Cheers
yeah i know whats happened it happened to my focus back a few months ago i fixed it by forcing the cable back out with a set of pillars and then pushing it in and out a few times with some wd40. what happens is the one cable rusts up and locks it to place over time which means you'll need a new cable as after a while it will just rust up again.
what theres no puresher in the foot brake at all? did you mate bleed the brakes? did he wind or push the rear caiplers in?
yeah thay should sell them. well ive found there 30% above most places and there traders card only gives you 10% so your still paying more.
