Praise for Christopher
Tonight coming back from dinner my stupid throttle cable snapped!!!

I was by my self as Christopher was with his mum going to be shown where the dentist was. Got out had a look it was snapped just at the throttle body, looks as if it was about to go for a while!

So phoned my superman, he came looked at it, went back to his mums got pliers and a allan key then came back and sorted it! all in about 20 mins! took him about 80 seconds to fix it when we got back to the car with the tools

Ive to bring to everyones attention how super amazing he is! and how i'd have been up shit creek with out him!

Thank you Christopher!

How sweet!

He's a big knight in shining armour aint he!

It's good that you realise what a lucky girl you are to have such a hero!

Now make him a nice dinner and clean the house.

nice.. how you can fix a snapped cable with a hex key and a pair of pliers beats me tho.. unless he used the pliers to bend the key ends around the cable ends to hold it all together

I have been known to post in here name before matey!

The throttle cabel ont eh megane when we got it was a cable with 2 grub screws either end, which both snapped. I then melted the end off a 1.4 cable and fitted the pedal end properly.

last night the TB grub screw end failed, just refitted the grub screw.

Amber had already right away diagnosed the problem and had the grub screw bit out for me.

I'm quite impressed Amber!

I've yet to meet a girl who has an interest in cars/tuning much less gets her hands dirty with one!
