can anybody tell me how to get the bonnet open as the cable has just snapped on me, how hard are they to fit too?

To open you'll need to have a Stone dead cold engine - as i think only way to pop the bonnet is to worm ur hand up

Also PM Dave, he said a while ago he'd show any Donated Members how to open a bonnet with a snapped cable, might save u a bob or 2, cost me £40 for a mechanic to open mine abd new cable

he been here for 3 years so i told him, lets hope he now donates some of the 40 quid he has saved

Hey, I'm having the same problem! Can anyone please offer me some advice on how to open the bonnet? Without my Dad's suggestion of tearing it apart !

i have snapped bonnet cable and to open my bonnet now is much easier than using the acutal cable

lol it is literally a 2 secs job to open the bonnet once cable has snapped off...very simple
