Happy new year!!
Just snapped my throttle cable on the m1 and currently sat on the hard shoulder!
I'm trying to order a new cable from GSF and they say they can get 2 types. One is for 320's, 323's, 325's and the other is for an m40 engine.. My car has an M42 16v engine so would I be right in thinking that the m40 cable is the one to get?

Neither. The 318is throttle cable is part number 35 41 1 158 982, and has a length of 1116/825mm

Why were you sat on the hard shoulder? Wedge the throttle half open, and drive on the ignition key.
