I agree word for word.Surely there's no need for a poll on this? Any replying post stating opinion with supporting reasons must be more informative?
It all depends on your skills. With mine, first out - I'd try a repair - If I had subsequent problems then I'd try to deal with them too.
If that failed, then I'd buy a new cable/harness - an OEM one. Undoing screws and splitting the shell isn't that hard...
Easily done before you know your way around....Thank you - didn't mean to make it a poll -
