Somehow the mechanic in my local garage found a way to reroute and join it without any splicing!
He did take off the cable support bracket and retaining bolt, which I now have.

The second Chinesium one I have is 90mm short but Sean (in the "other" forum) says his is only about 50/60mm short and ...

Good find. That will probably do the job.

The seller Mike bought it from was extremely difficult about sending it back. Hopefully you didn't buy ...

I suspect your diagnosis is correct. Surprising it hasn't gone in to limp mode though. Normally slipping will cause a 'gear ratio incorrect' code which then causes limp and a thump in to drive. I would be inclined to put a MAF in it at the same time since you're so deep in to it already. The MAF is ...
