the D9 is dead...

A mere glitch James, keep the faith...

You wouldn't be saying that if it snapped on the M1 at rush hour, 200 miles away from home with no throttle or a first aid kit

i had no tools with me whatsover

Thought you said you aaaaalways drive around with half the sealey catalogue in your boot?

more like half the Snap On catalogue, but i thought i was going to need the extra 2 seats in the boot and had to unload

so i resorted to using the bandage from my first aid kit to join the cable back together

Impressive. How on earth did you manage that though? A bandage to fix a broken cable? *confused*

the end had snapped off so i basically wrapped the throttle pot in the bandage to hold the cable too it, i saved myself buying a new cable and nicked one off a dead 406 at work

i believe you have surpased MacGyver's 'find any tool to fix anything' skill. first aid bandage for your throttle cable .... simply brilliant. from now on, i'll stuff some more bandages in my '6 just in case.
