 Today my C6 failed it's MOT due to insufficient operation of the O/S/R electronic hand brake. The tester says it's the cable at fault. The Citroen part number for this item is 4745 Z1. Citroen do them as a non returnable pair for just over £300!!!!!! I'm not paying that if I can help it. Trouble is I can't find anywhere, including eBay, that supplies the above part. Can anyone help?

 Would you consider a set of second hand cables?
I may know of some, complete with control unit, but will have to check they are available.

Another forum member had this with his 2.2 manual recently,
but it was the main control unit that had failed.
The manual gearbox unit is different to the auto gearbox unit.

 Yes I would be interested in the second hand cables. The reason the tester is sure it's the O/S/R cable that's at fault is twofold. Firstly the N/S/R cable still exerts the correct level of pull and secondly a hinged mechanism (the correct name for which I don't know) on the O/S/R that the cable attaches too is not moving as it should which indicates that the cable is seized/broken etc.
