Any half decent Motor Factors will have one in stock............Partco do them for £10.84

B11GNS

will it be a ford item or a copy?

Disabled Account

It will be a copy...............but IMO it's better to have a copy fitted to the car AND a spare copy in the boot then just the expensive original and no spare

B19-TRB

Should carry 1 @ all times!

B11GNS

yeah, will do in future ten minute job but you spend the whole day trying to get hold of it

B19-TRB

its always the way fella!

thats y a saff is the most reliable cossie! cause u can fit more spare parts in the boot!

B11GNS

I suppose if i had a sapp i'd brim the boot with spares too. I can imagine what its like being stuck at the side of the road for ages waiting for the AA standing next to it with people seeing its yours, i'd want to get it repaired quick and get it out of sight asap

B19-TRB

Exactly!

I was sooo imbarrsed of mine I had to stick it in a ditch!

B11GNS

Best place for it!

B19-TRB

fookin right it was!

worthmore in bits aswell!

B11GNS

back to the subject is the cable the same as a normal sierra?

B19-TRB

I doubt it!

different gearbox!

B11GNS

partco have just told me they ain't got one and ford cant get me one until tomorrow Any more ideas?

B19-TRB

Breakers yard!? i know a used cable aint the best but if it works until u can get a new 1!

B11GNS

a possiblility but would prefer to wait until tomorrow then go down that road, i am going to try burton to see if they have any

B19-TRB

no other motor factors about!?
give cossymad a shout he might have or no of somewhere that might do em!

uk_christophe

Try autocare on canvey island and speak to Mark. I got one from him not to long ago might be worth a try.

B11GNS
