Well something happened to mine were by it wasnt moveing the arm on the pump but the cable hadnt snapped. Not sure what was up but pedal was very stiff so removed it, and it snaped as i tryed pulling it the wrong way though the bulk head, but it wasnt snapped like this before.
Any way ive used the old cable to thread it though bulk head and thought the pedal bung bit so when i get new one tomorrow i can attach it to the old one with some tape to pull it though the bulk head and in to the engine bay.
Now is there anything i need to look out for or do when changing the cable?
Do you guys no what could have caused it to stop pulling?
Any one got a guide on how to do it?

Tbh you can't really go wrong. Id be inclined to swap the outer sleeve to if there was an issue. Could be that the old cable stretched alot

As Matt said Chris iirc the outer on yours could do with replacing I think the adjustment part was replaced By a clamp
if you struggle to get one I have a full new assembly. But I'm only at would till 12.30 tomorrow so let me know before then mate

Worth checking that the outer of the cable had the little clip on it where it goes through the mount/bracket on the fuel pump. If the clip went missing then the inner cable wouldnt move and the outer would just slide back and forth when you put your foot down.
