snapped a pplastic part of the shifter linkage trying to reset my shifter cables. F**K
Took me a minute but i eventually found the part number and ive got one coming.Ive seen the ends on ebay.
I should imagine the dealers and TPS would want to sell you cables. I could be wrong.

Resetting the shift linkage is no way near as simple as it looks, the transmission kept getting stuck locked.
Yeh, its a faf.
Ive gotta do mine at some point.
I have a set of solid bushes to put into mine at some point........might wait until summer (whenever that is)
Brakes aren't fixed.
They're definitely getting there, but nowhere near as firm as they were on Sunday. If I pump the brake a couple of times, they'll go hard, but that's not exactly what I'm after...
They got me down and up Ditchling Beacon though, so I'm not too worried - as long as they get the car through the MoT I can start doing a bit more work on them again.

Maybe you’re going too deep with this? My pedal goes hard after a few pumps but a few miles down the road she will be a bit softer again. Either that or mine are ****** too!! Saying that they did really good in the mot

Really silly thought for you brake issue types is your vac line intact and the one way valve good ?
dont forget about the brake vac booster valve under the manifold (if the diesels have it?) These can fail. Although i removed all of that and just fed one line from the mani, i think @Sl1ced has done the same and to me it felt no different. Brakes are always harder after a few pumps, they stop me in a hurry when they need toThat's the next step - I've been replacing vacuum lines as and when, but there's no harm in replacing the brake ones next, given they're pretty cheap and straightforward.
I did notice the other week when I was running the tyre air compressor that there was a bit of a hiss coming from the engine bay. I don't know the engine so intimately that I'd know what that is or if it's normal, but the number of times I've read here about vacuum lines splitting due to age...

Hopefully my RARB turns up today
