Vivaro front and centre handbrake cables replacement.

When we changed Vinnies rear handbrake cables we noticed the the centre cable was fraying.
We decided to change the centre and front cables so the were all new. Here's how we did it.

I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!

I've learnt loads from these videos. It's certainly given me more confidence to work on parts of my 2014 Sportive (called Van Diesel) myself 😅

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, I'm glad they are of some help 👍. That's a great name 👌.

[@tettron]

Thank you dude, front one has snapped and this video has certainly provided confidence on doing it myself!

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, good luck sorting it out 🤞.

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, no problems. Good luck sorting it out 🤞.

@@LarcsWorkshop All done, after a trip to the parts shop because they sold me one for a short wheel base 🙄 My van went in for its mot yesterday and failed because tester guy snapped cable 😳 he couldn’t fix it for two weeks 😤 I need my van for work! Watching your video saved the day! Thank you 🙏 i wouldn’t have attempted it if you hadn’t made that video! I hope you realise how brilliant you are 😂

@@ishtiaq1ahmed . Thanks, no problems 👍.

Just worth noting that later vivaro have a different and improved method of connecting the centre to the front section with a pin amd clamp arrangement. Also the centre section will vary from swb and lwb.

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks 👍

[@jonnybigsalads3656]

I’m attempting my cable today, thanks for that comment as I was sure the parts guy had given me the wrong cable 😊 Hopefully it’ll be straight forward!

[@dragonshadow3707]

Hey bud thanks for the video your the only one I have found doing the front part witch is what I need to do lol mine is the mk7 transit but very similar so thanks

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, no problems. Glad it was of some help 👍.

[@rexthewarhorse7110]

I made a sidepipe exhaust on mine. That made it a lot easier when I needed to change the cable 😊

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Good work 👌

[@rexthewarhorse7110]

@@LarcsWorkshop well you did a better job because you had it much harder. I could lift mine all the way and there was no exhaust in the way 😊

cheers for the video. which cable did the clip that joins them, come with?

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Sorry, I can't remember 🙄.

[@scottiemellotie]

​@@LarcsWorkshopyeah I bought both those parts you showed from euro car parts and neither include that coupling you had. I can't see it for sale on eurocarparts website so if anyone has a link I'd be grateful.

[@mattavalon]

Great video to see thanks

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, no problems. Cheers Larcs 👍

[@bc-mr1si]

Good video thanks for sharing. I have a Renault traffic 2.0 2014. the middle cable has snapped. I noticed you used string to pull the new cable through. the cable I have is all in one .there's no way the ball on the end of the cable will go through the rubber grommets on the chassis .any ideas🤔

[@LarcsWorkshop]

@@bc-mr1si . Thanks 👍. It sounds like a slightly different design to Vinnie, can you pop out the grommets and pass it through separately?

[@bc-mr1si]

@LarcsWorkshop thanks for your reply. I've noticed that the hole In the grommets actually expand. there's small cut outs from the centre of the hole so might manage to pull the new cable through with the string

[@LarcsWorkshop]

@@bc-mr1si . Good luck sorting it out 🤞.

@@LarcsWorkshop thanks fella

[@martinholsten9446]

Hi there. How easy is it to replace the dust shields on the rear discs? Mine have rusted and need replacing?

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Not sure really, but I expect you'll have to take the caliper, disc and hub off to get to it. Good luck sorting it out 🤞. Cheers Larcs 👍

[@waynegavin142]

where did you get your portable light from? Love the videos

[@LarcsWorkshop]

It's a GloForce Eyelight plus, I've done a video on it with all the details kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3TIp5mor9J7itE Cheers Larcs 👍
