Thanks Geoff, sorry I've only just seen the reply.

Hi All, My first post for ages (years?!). I am finally near to getting my Mk 3 Coupe back on the road and for recommissioning all I need is a new hand brake cable (the only snag at moment anyway!). Is anyone able to supply a shortened Metro cable please?

Thanks Hans, I will give it a day or two and hope one shows up. Otherwise I could also be getting the Jigsaw out. Mine were glass but had been direct glazed with a polymer.

Has anyone got a side window (preferably an offside but both or either would do) for a Mk 3 Coupe for sale please?

Thanks for the link. I haven't checked yet but I think the cable clutch arm is a different throw to the hydraulic item. I'm not sure the minispares one will fit, so I think I will need to contact them. Was the Avonbar engine based on the turbo lump as my local stockist says this is not available?(I ...
