You are joking

£133 for fitting a speedo cable.

It is fiddly but I'm not quite sure it would be that difficult from underneath working in a pit or under a ramp.

Doesn't the speedo cable go from the back of the dials to the gearbox?

Dunno what it's like on the Corsa but on the Astra it's a piece of piss. Wouldn't have thought it would be much difference?

Although I guess there is more room in the Astra engine bay than in the Corsa, unless you have a gay engine like a 1.2 8v...
