Just a heads up. I am not sure whether newer 110s have exactly the same setup as my County does, but check if you have.

On the way back from town yesterday, about 300m from home, there was a feeling of something breaking under my right foot. When I got home, as I got out of the seat, my eye caught a piece of bright metal just on the front of the door sill. I picked it up and decided that it looked like part of a broken spring. It was soon clear where it came from.

The pedal has a return spring, so that you don't need to have a very strong spring on the engine end of the cable, prolonging the cable life. This takes the form of a pretty strong torsion spring round the pivot shaft of the pedal. This twists slightly on the pedal shaft when operating, and had worn about halfway through before it broke. As a preventative measure, I suggest an occasional drop of oil might be useful. Note that my 110 has done almost 700,000km.

While the pedal assembly (looks like it) can be disassembled to replace the spring, I don't know whether they are available. And at a first look I am not sure that it is possible to do this in situ, or remove the assembly without taking the mudguard (and possibly the door if you don't have a helper) off - I don't think the nuts are captive!

As at least a temporary measure I have fitted a tension spring between the bracket for the stop bolt and the pedal frame, using the gap between the bulkhead and this frame to put in a wire tie to hold it to the bulkhead.

For some time I have had a problem with the engine not dropping right back to idling speed occasionally. I thought it was a fraying accelerator cable, but could find no signs of this. Obviously, I was looking in the wrong place!
