Default Car broke down today

I was driving on the A406, got a bit hot decided to pull into BP petrol pump for a drink.

Came out jumped into my car, and noticed the accelerator pedal was flat on the floor Called the AA they told me 45 minutes so I said OK. Waited inside the air conditioned BP whilst reading magazines, had some lunch etc.

AA guy came and pulled this metal bit out of the passenger side footwell, which has two sponge bushes on there. The bushes were shot as feck, and he told me I need too replace them. The metal bit holds the cable in place through the bulkhead via these spongy bushes. He then used two cable ties and fixed the accelerator cable. I drove back without any problems, ordered the bushes from work they were £5 each.

Will make a photo write up when I change the bushes, for forum reference.
