...at 12 oclock lastnight, luckily wasnt too far from home, managed to get a mate to pick me up and take me home. Iv got to go down to the car in a bit, i should of driven it home using the clutch lastnight but didnt think of that.

Suddenly the accelerator just went, nothing on it at all its just loose, had a look under the bonnet, and it had snapped, no cable to be seen, looks like its gone through the housing.

Is this a DIY job or take it to the garage jobby?

Cheers
