"should be a piece of piss- think ursen luky it aint the clutch cable"

Pedals return to idle position via the pedal spring. The throttle cable doesn't hold the pedal in any postion. Next time your in the car look under the foot well

"oh i never knew that.. i always thought it was tension of cable. learn summin new every day"

Heres a fine example: May vary from car to car though

it was the accelerator cable! mine was slightly different to that one youve got a pic of dazzi it was some sort of bung that attached onto the top of the pedal leaver and that had worn through and came loose was only £12 was a bit of a nightmare to fit but got there in the end cheers for the tips and hints tho guys
