Morning all,

So my car started making a scraping sound under the centre console when accelerating hard,

Ive found on another forum a video with the exact sound I’m experiencing.  Turns out it’s due to the handbrake cable clips above the fuel tank breaking and the hand brake cables rub on the prop shaft.

Has anyone got any experience with renewing these? Apparently the tank needs to be dropped.

People have said that cable ties work well as a cheap alternative.

I’d normally climb underneath,  play and report my findings, but I’m recovering from an operation at the moment so cannot get underneath for a few weeks. 😕
