However, I've just put my car in for a class C service and I've been told I need a new throttle cable urgently.

Can you buy replacement cables from Toyota or would I have to sign over two of my limbs to pay for it?

You will need some new cable and couple of solderless nipples.
I got the inner from a local car restoration place in the end, and cost a few quid.
Should be able to get the nipples at the same place as the cable with a bit of luck.
Just cut the end off of the old cable and thread the new one in.
Couldn't be simplier.
