A late high spec diesel P38 will give you better service and leave you with cash to fix it.
Like most of the UK population you are obsessed with image, I don't give a feck that the P38 looks old (not that i think it does) as long as it goes and repairs are affordable, it does everything the an overweight L322 will do.But it will still look as old as my nan !

In consideration that my brief was to:
Repair for under £20
Do the job of releasing the bonnet
Not look like an afterthought
Zero/Minimal modification required
£17.04 for a OEM Cable from Local Dealer or £6 from Aftermarket supplier for a replacement cable ticks the 4 task criteria and also can be fitted without modification....
