I would love to buy it if you still have it, I can only find one in USA. I have a 240 GL H reg 1991 1.9 ,and I bought my car to be fixed and instead of the mechanic fixing my kick down and change up problem he for reasons known only to himself,cut the cable near the throttle!! Needless to say my gear box still is not right it changes up to 2nd at 3000 rpm,3rd at 3500 Rpm(50MPH) and 4th at 4500 RPM(70 Mph) as you can see that aint right is it?I can not just ease off the throttle and it changes up, I have to rev the poor things t*ts off! I am guessing that the kickdown cable not working being part of the cause of my problem?

Any suggestions appreciated.
