Cable replacements from Halfords
Your accelerator, brake, and clutch are key components of your car. But did you know that when you press down on any of the pedals, the force is transferred through a cable to the relevant parts inside your car.
Faulty cable symptoms
Cables will need replacing if they become stretched or even snap. You’re likely to feel if your accelerator, clutch or handbrake cables need changing, as you’ll notice something is wrong when you drive. If your accelerator cable is damaged, you should feel a change in pedal tension. Your handbrake won’t hold the weight of the vehicle if the cable needs replacing, and a faulty clutch cable could mean you struggle to change gear..

Accelerator, Clutch & Handbrake Cables FAQs
How to tighten a handbrake cable?
If the handbrake starts feeling loose, the cable can normally be adjusted to take up the extra slack and improve the hold.
What causes a car to shake while accelerating?
Sometimes it’s down to worn tyres or wheels, but damaged drivetrain parts can also make the car vibrate when you speed up.
Can a handbrake cable snap?
It can, especially on older cars where the cable has been exposed to rust and wear for years.
How to check car clutch condition?
A worn clutch often feels different when driving. You might notice the revs rising without much pull or gears feeling harder to engage.
