Some years ago I was commuting from Farnborough,Hants - oop north to Warton Airfield in Lancs on the company aircraft (flew up mon morning - flew back thursday night 
)
I had my old 405 diesel estate then and used to pick up a mate on the way to Farnborough,anyway one morning the throttle cable snapped and my mate was impressed when I pulled out the old inner cable and then threaded some 22swg stainless steel locking wire (single strand) through the outer cable and tied off both ends - drove the car like that for 3 weeks until I had time to get hold of a replacement cable,certainly made the throttle control nice and light LOL
