406 HDI manual gearbox selector cables

Post by jetdoc3 »

Hi There
Can anyone suggest a supplier for gear selector cables for my manual HDI the ball joints under the gear lever are getting worn and reverse is getting harder to select
In New Zeland here the local dealers want $1000 NZD /495 quid in your money so I 'm keen to find someone in the UK who can help
cheers to all you helpful people out there

Have you tried greasing them up? I know they are quite expensive... but have a trawl through ebay.co.uk, I am sure someone will have these.

Thanks for that they have plastic ball joints on the end and just lever off with a screw driver I don't think greasing them would be possible
thanks
anyway

Well if you get to them and there is no play between the ball joint and its mount I'd be happy to pay for the post to new zealand plus a little something for your trouble, and have a great Christmas
