I think all vauxhall cables stretch easily... when i got my car i had to tighten the bonnet release... the accelerator AND clutch cable as all 3 had stretched!

Network Q obviously didn;t think they neeced doing though.........or maybe they couldn;t be ARSED!

front of the engine bay near the radiator... undo the clamp round the outer cable and pull more outer through to take the slack up.
