    Remove pin.
    Throw away old broke bit.
    Reinstall pin with new cable.
    Job done.

    I wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure owner will forgive you in time, it's an easy mistake and easy to sort.

    Yeah, did one a couple of weeks ago. So easy I can't even remember the process. It's just a two minute max. thing. Don't remember if I just had to clip the thing on or put it on like you would a key on a key ring. My local motor factors had them on the shelf, a very standard thing and not specific to ifor williams or anything.
