Brake Cable Suppliers ?
Friend has one of these 7 seater Renault things, its a 2005 model with the electronic over cable handbrake.
One of his mechanics couldnt free the caliper end off it, so snipped the cable.....
Renault want £350+vat for a plastic outer, steel lined cable around 2ft long !
Is there anywhere Locosters use for similar cables, or suppliers of the components to make his own up.
Im sorry I dont know what model it is.
Thanks in advance

just over £50.

Sounds like someone tried to do the job without plugging in the gizmo to release the caliper??
