Handbrake Cable

Six6siX · 24 Jan 2006 at 17:01

Well, I was a little over enthuastic with my handbrake and i think i managed to snap the cable

*lever goes floppy and loud snap heard*

Its not really a DIY job for me as I understand you need to get under the car etc. and i dont have the facilities.

So, what sorta price should I be looking at for cable+fitting? Went to one place and got £70 quote :eek:

Thats not bad. I had to renew my handbrake cables recently, its not a bad job actually. The cables were about £40 and £30 for labour is about right.

Im in the process of doing a 300ZX rear brake conversion on my car and the R33 GTST handbrake cable I needed is supposed to be over £150 :eek:

Luckily I got one off a breaker

Cheers for the replies people, sorry forgot to say car is a 306 DTurbo Phase 1.

£70 seems ok then? Right, I might as well get it sorted, sooner rather than later.
