My parents have been with an insurance broker ever since I know and they have a good relationship with her. When I was originally insured on their micra they went to her and found the best deal to get me on the car as a named driver. Now I have my own with 3 years no claims it was less than...

Sorry for the late reply, Turned out I wasted about 5 hours of my Dad's time. The bolt that attaches the cable to the bracket at the clutch lever wasn't on properly and I hadn't tightened it near enough. The rubber in the bracket was fine (split or no). Thanks for all your help guys, works...

Ahhhhhhhhhh. I see. Well unfortunately we tried to cut at the new rubber bit a little to try and get it to fit before we realised the plastic was too large. So the rubber split in two. Have a backup cable though and my Dad is here now with proper tools so we will try it again. So when you are...

Red = hard plastic bit Blue = Rubber bit Green = bracket opening Yellow = bracket So, the hard plastic bit does not fit through the bracket opening. The opening is too small. The only way you can get it out would be by somehow removing the rubber bit around it, and pulling it out towards the...

Yeah the new cable has a metal bracket with a pin through it. Just like the clutch lever end. But my question is still, how on earth do you remove the cable from the 'mounting bracket' which is just before the clutch lever? Or even how do you get a new one onto it?

I 'think' we've had a bit of miscommunication here. The bracket that was attached to the lever was fine. The pin was fine etc. The bracket that was attached to the pedal was plastic, and that broke. My problem with the cable was that there is a mounting bracket (which is attached to the...

Um... not really sure how to check your blog post. I clicked on your name and it showed me your profile, but it said you had 0 blog entries.

Edit: forgot to type. First of all, I didn't touch the bracket. I tried to unscrew it but it's on so tight I couldn't budge the screws. You can clearly see the clutch cable, being held in the bracket. That rubber is a single piece, and is larger than the hole in the bracket, so you cannot push...

So, bought a cable, went to the car. The old cable was loose, good sign. The plastic nib/pin/thing that hooks onto the pedal had broken. So we pulled that out, and we detached it from the clutch lever on the engine. But I could not for the life of me get the cable off the mounting bracket on the...

Alright, thanks everyone a lot for your help! I will try this out tomorrow and let you know how it went. It's been our first 'problem' with this car and it's nice that it's (apparently) a very minor one.

Gotcha. So if it's loose I'll find a garage with a spare cable. What kind of tools would I need to get at where I need to replace it? My Dad has offered to drive up (he almost has his own garage by now, but he's about 2 hours away) so if I can save him the trip by doing it myself I'd like to, if...

You mean taut if it's broken, or taut if it's fine? :P

Where would I be able to get a clutch cable from? I googled our nearest Nissan dealer and they're closed on weekends. Is this the kind of thing any decent garage should stock? Or are clutch cables very model/make specific? Thanks! Edit: Unfortunately I'm a tool and don't have a flashlight in...

Driving my Micra today in 5th at about 60kph, braked a bit and slowed down, pressed clutch to switch to 4th and I heard a funny noise can't really describe it, and the clutch just stayed down at the bottom. Couldn't change gear until I stopped and turned off the engine. From what I've read...
