put off for ages but finally carried out cable renewal . getting dashboard out is easy as was disconnecting cable to gearbox ! the rest got awkward . took nearside glove box off assuming cable access ( nope) then removed the radio speaker grill with the V8 emblem . access to cable going through tunnel much easier . removed easy peasy. noting it comes up through tunnel and route along back and up on right corner near A post/window section. Thought work was over but tricky part was reconnecting to gearbox ! was trying to do from underneath where I removed cable easily. after a few minutes ( or was it hours?) and some pleasant words ( well not the sort your mother wants to hear) saw a large. rubber bung opposite cable/speed takeoff to gearbox. 5 min Slater with carpet removed and bung out..presto fitted much easier. rest went back fairly well. Sunday day of trying it out ..see if it has cured that dreaded 'ticking' behind dashboard. or will I need a new 'angle drive unit'. ?
