Tailgate release cable.
Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere that's online to get this cable? Not got time to get to the dealers at the moment. I know member Geoff. Did a replacement but had no reply to the pm I sent.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I've a spare one - it's used but in good condition. £25 + postage
I'll upload a picture if you're interested

Would prefer a new or one of Geoffs to be honest as a second hand one could leave me in the same situation cry quickly! Thanks for the offer though.

Or I think quite a few people have repaired them using an allen key as a substitute for the vulnerable part.
Or - I should add - ping Geoff again. I don't know if he still has his upgraded version but he's around. He fitted some lower arms for me yesterday .

Thanks I have messages Geoff again to see if I get a reply, the reason I have struggled is I have been looking for the cable only so maybe that's why I have been having problems!

It's just the return that's snapped off mine so still half attached. Pretty sure mine will be returned no problem.
