Was your replacement cable stainless, Richard?
Did the cable snap, or just detach/jump off?

It was a home made one out of a bicycle gear cable i will admit i have only just got the door panel off so it may have just jumped off, just a bit of a pain to do though or at least it was last time so wondered if anyone has a direct replacement

This is the stainless cable I have used. Extremely flexible and strong...

Available by the metre, so you could buy enough to do all the windows without great expense.
No need for terminating nipples - just make a tight knot in the cable (put in a vise, and tug with pliers to tighten).

Thanks Chris can you give me a rough idea how much would be required to do all the windows ?

2m for each window should cover it.
10m all in to be safe.
