i am wanting a refund for them selling me the wrong corsa throttle cable and they are arguing that i am wrong. I know what type of cable i need. They wont listen. 8v is different to a 16v but they say it isnt.

can you get 2 part numbers for the different cables from Vauxhall then use this as evidence that there is 2? Bit of hassle though, whats the price on a throttle cable nowadays?

Surely if they sold you something that's not fit for its intended purpose then you are entitled to your cash back, or at least an exchange. I could be wrong though...

Nic can you get a reg from a vehicle with the cable you need?
Half the time ringing up and asking for a part with no details is the problem
Or like already mentioned, get the vaux part number and they should be able to search by o.e number

according to the cable book i just looked at, 1.4 16v cable is different part number to 1.6 16v and the 1.6 is about 60cm longer. Whats the deal with that? No books list for 20xe any more which is just great.

Cant see that, 1.4 and 1.6 cables should be the same.... Of course others ARE shorter due to the TB being in the middle of the car, not hidden down the back corner.
