Hi everyone :)
Have just joined and my first question to you all is ....
Who knows if it is possible to just replace the gearbox end of the gearchange cable on a MK1 Alhambra .... Or is it a case of change the whole cable set ??
Links to part suppliers / previous answers would be very welcome.
Ta
Andy.
Hey Andy, I don't have much experience with the mk1 cables but I don't think they are that dis-similar to the Mk2 and as such the end won't be replaceable. The parts diagram would unfortunately appear to back that up:

7M0711877H is the part number for the cables.
Oh lovely :(
Just what I didn't want to know .... Ah well - new cables it is going to have to be.

Thanks for that link - Have now got cables sorted at my local garage - but for some reason they cannot now get the gear lever to go back to centre from between first & second :( ??
From fifth & reverse it's just fine .... :)
Sounds like cables need adjusting properly to me,you have to lock stick and mechanism on box and then take the slack out of cables using the spring loaded adjusters.
Thanks for the replied folks .... Got it all sorted now (hopefully) .... Just waiting to see which body parts I will need to sell to cover the bill .... :o ???
