cable just snapped at the engine end, so before i called the recovery i cut down the metal cable housing to try and release more cable to tie to the other part, but no luck.

Was this a big mistake and do i have to replace this as well with the cable?

If so where can i get all this quickly as its Wittering next weekend!!!!!

:( :(

you could join the two bits with an electrical chockblock if they reach each other? (chockblocks are the things that come in banks of about 6 with white plastic outside and 2 screws per block for joining wires.)
