Hi All
Replaced my clutch cable end of March lasted 6 wks the soldered nipple at the gearbox end came off, had it replaced and then today the end has come off again and another one is on its way, I can pull the clutch in with two fingers so it doesnt seem under great strain, it seems a bit odd had original one donkeys years and now two in about 10 wks, its not just replacing the cable but having to drain the gearbox and fish the ends out thats the pain, I found out today there's been another one returned so could be a faulty batch.

Anybody had similar problems

Thanks Paul

Are these genuine Lloyds replacement cables?....and what do Lloyds make of your problem?

I know no boundaries.

Most likely a 'Batch' problem. - Cables are a bought-in item. Lloyds will sort you out I'm sure.

'They' don't make cables like they used to. Something to do with the lead (Pb) content of the solder holding the nipple on.

GOGGA

As far as I know they are but will find out for definate tomorrow may drop them an e mail, on the first one they said it would be replaced on return of broken one but I only have one wicket mower they sent one in 2 days, they say there's one in the post overnight will it be good batch or bad.

I had this problem last year and Lloyds were very good and replaced cable (s) free of charge and in double quick time. However, as far as I know this was a faulty batch and they have since changed the clutch cable entirely so that now you get a clutch cable assembly complete with clutch lever and the screw in bit.

If you have been supplied with the old style cable (just cable) rather than the newer cable with clutch lever then I'd ask them why.

I have the new style cable, last time I returned only the cable and they sent the full kit so I returned the new lever, this time sending cable only now ive taken the whole lot back, it is a much improved lever than the old style.
