Bonnet release cable
« on: 16 July 2011, 07:09:18 PM »
Hi all,
Does anyone know if the cable off a vectra or other vauxhall will fit a saab 93 vector?? Having a mare finding one apart from main dealer who want £80 for the 2 parts!!

Vectra has a single catch in the centre, and the Saab has one either side so no Vectra will not be the same, How is yours broken?

Yikes that is pricey. I'm sure you could possibly get one made up for less. Try googling something like "Bowden cable manufacturers"

I found this one easily... Cable-Tec
If you have a part number they can make it according to the script under 'Bowden cables'
