MG MGF Technical - Replacing the gear cables

As with DCM a local owner has had the gear-cables snap on his F. when!,(or should that be IF he can get a set), what are they like to fit??,.... No four letter words please! :o)

I was told that the coolant systen needs to be drained to gain access underneath, however I remember a post from a while back where someone replaced the cables without having to drain-re-fill etc, but cant seem to find it in the archives!!.

TIA
