My FRP has a sticky pedal so am planning to change the throttle cable. Is it a standard Puma cable or do I need a specific one? I've had a look for a guide but can't find one. Any advice or tips on how to do it?

Cheers

Good news, have just fitted it and it wasn't a particularly hard job. Haven't taken the car for a drive yet to see if it's made a change but the old cable was quite an effort to move compared to the free flowing new one so hopefully it's done the trick. A worth while change for the sake of £20 and less than 30 mins of work. I'll pop an update on once I've taken her out for a drive :)

It's an easy job to change, just a shame I have still got the vibration since changing. Once I had changed mine it was still sticking so I cleaned the butterfly valve and it's much better. The old cable was slightly rough feeling when I removed it so worth doing for the £17 it cost me from Ford. If you get one give me a shout and I'll let you know how to change it.
