Just tried to get a price for a throttle cable and was asked what length the cable is?

I was given 2 choices:

From memory 635mm or 1170mm.

Anyone know which one I need? I'm thinking 1170.

Regards

Stu

Yep, that's what I'm using. As said above, make sure it is an M50 525 car you order the cable for not an early M20 car
