Hi guys,
just a quick question to ask about the ins and outs of removing and refitting the throttle cable on a mk1. Cant seem to find a how to guide so i am hoping that all you lovely peoplewill enlighten me.

Pretty straight forward. Hardest bit is getting into the dash to get to the cable. Just take your time and unscrew all the plastic bits until you can get the clocks out and unclip it.
Its clipped to the underside of the car and the engine end just unclips and then a nut to undo.
You will probably break all the bolts holding the undertray on right enough

can i ask why its being removed? frayed inner by any chance? if so save yourself a massive amount of work and cut the inner,pull it out....go to B&Q they sell cable on a roll at 58p a metre...buy some nipples there too and feed the new cable up the inside of the outer,attach both ends and jobs done for the next 20 years...total cost around ?5.
