That's why I asked, that's either an unusually good pattern or a possibly poorly fitted genuine maybe? Is the cable away from a heat source, heat shield maybe ?

Just to be overly clear, make sure the next one is genuine Wink

when you do get a new one.. fit it yaself, guys on here advised me how and im no mechanic, but it was easy and you can run the cable where you want it, ie away from all the really hot stuff. which i believe causes the problem in the first place... i got the part off ebay . genuine part. cheaper than main dealer.just check part numbers first
