All done ! Got the cable through the bulkhead, connected it to the junction box and replaced the lever in the foot well.
Heart in mouth closing the bonnet - wondering if I would ever get it open again if I had missed something - bingo ! All works fine
Total cost to fix was £21 for the cable......and that satisfaction of doing it yourself and not handing over a couple hundred quid for a garage to do the same job !

A lot of it is done by feel, but you can see where it comes out so know the grommet has gone in correctly .
Bit of a hassle to get in right position but only took me approx 10 mins to do.

Sorry RoShamBo for hijacking
Just wanted to say for those that remember me, I've missed you and hope it's ok to return - if only to heckle X5Sport and generate threads about rabbits and handbags.
