Hi.
1999 406 2.0 petrol, unsure which engine code.

I have some free play in the throttle cable at the engine end. The cable
disappears through some bracket & attaches to cam thing.
I can see the spring clip adjuster thing on the ribbed bit of the cable
sleeve, which is right at the end. I still have 10mm of play. The rubber
grommet thing that the clip rests against is still there, and I have
currently rigged up a bodge to take up the slack.

Is my cable stretching, or has someone put the wrong one on at sometime ?

also, how can you stop the water pump from squealing ?   It quietens down
after engine has warmed up, but the noise goes right through me until then ?

Thanks in advance

James
