Common Supra fault? Nothing expensice i hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Fairly common....the winding mech is cable operated, most likely the cable has snapped. New winder mechanism from Toyoya is around £70, fairly easy to replace (even Ivan managed it:d ) A member on here fixed his with bike brake cable IIRR BTW.

merckx Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 About £70 I think. The cable has probably snapped. I replaced them with bike cables from Halfords, cost me less than £4. ( The second person to do this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee GZ Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yep sounds like the cable has snapped, pain in the ass! Same thing happened to me in the poring rain..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 It's not easy though. You have to shorten the bike cables and fit new terminations on the end. I had some collars made with grub screws going through to lock the cables instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
