So I thought I better show it some attention, and have a look why the accelerator pedal seemed a bit stiff. There was certainly an issue with sound insulation fouling the pedal, but then I looked at the other end at the throttle, and was intrigued to see there seemed to be a choice of 2 routes/layouts. There is a higher and lower receptacle for the cable outer, and a front and rear groove on the quadrant. It looks like the higher route lines up lines up with the front groove, the lower route with the rear groove. This is re-inforced as the front groove stops stops earlier than the rear groove.
My car seemed confused as to where the cable should be, as the outer is in the lower fitting but the cable inner running in the front groove on the quadrant. This confusion was confirmed as the inner had actually crossed over mid-way. I put the inner back in the front groove where it starts, but it does look to be pulling across, so I am inclined to move the inner to the rear groove.
So could anyone shed light on why there seems to be 2 alternative routes, and which should I be using? (Does it alter the feel of the throttle? The geometry does not look that different
Or is to to cope with different air intakes?)The current alignment does not seem happy. Haynes does not appear to mention this.
