jat Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Have a MOT due next week on my Focus 2 litre hatch 2002 and am having a problem getting the correct handbrake cable for it. The rear brakes are disc. Went to motor factor (Dingbros) and was supplied with a set which they were sure were the ones for my car after giving them the reg number etc. The cables were just two single cables, marked L and R with a central swivel at the handbrake end. One side fitted fine but the other side was 3 to 4 cms short and couldn't go on the caliper arm without the brake being on full. As I always use this motor factor it was no problem putting the cable back unused, but going to my ford dealer they cost twice as much, use the same computer program to look up the part, and will not take the cable back if it is the wrong one. So I am stuck between a rock and a hard place! Any ideas,help, suggestions would be appreciated john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
