Hi all
I have had a break pad worn warning appear in the last few days.
On inspection the brakes are fine but the cable is damaged
I am Struggling to find a replacement cable harness
The cable connects to the brake pad and splits and another connector on suspension arm
Any help is appreciated
Help please

Is dealership out of the question?

You could look up the part number here and try call a dealership, euro car parts or on autodoc (a German parts website).

Re: Help please
I think you’ll find the cable harness is not an easy replacement. Is the cable damaged at the connector end? I had the same issue as you where the brake wear light came on but the pads are good. I found that the connector was cracked and water got into the contacts and corroded them. I fitted a replacement connector and all is good.
