Tried open my bonnet just a minute ago as fixing some other problems and release catch refused too work. The cable connectted too the red pull switch has about 2-3 inches of slack on it now but when pull it by hand from there nother happens any ideas on how too fix this?
 
tried put the cable back in from under the car but just slips through the loop thing like the loop is too big :(
 
will try a rope of some sort tied onto it or put through it, pull and see does it work as seems too stiff too get from there
 
got it through and the reason its going through it is the top snapped off so another thing needs too be fixed now :p
 
On my car (no prizes for guessing what it is!) the rubber seal at the front of the bonnet was sticking the bonnet down, even when the release cable was being pulled - I got the wife to pull the cable, while I lifted the bonnet.

See, she does have a use!
 
Am tempted too set it on fire and flip it down a hill, think would at least get my moneys worth in the fun factor then
 
:yeahthat:
or you could just give it to me:D .,.,.,lol
Get a price off foleys for the fitting before buying the parts so you know what its gonna cost altogether.,.,.,(y)
 
Shouldnt be more than 200 too fit it? or will it be more than that? Found a place with like 20+ puntos so can get the bonnet realise cable and other bits and pieces but not sporting/gt console all of em where taking already..
Hope it can make it there without falling apart.
 
while am at fixing the car you know anywhere can get second hand angel eyes dont really wana spend €325 on em, every shop, catelogue have seen em in thats only price
 
LOL!

Every Fiat I have ever owned has done this.

A 127, Strada 65, two Pandas and a Punto have all had rotten cables.
 
hope if get it off a scrapped car wont mess up again then. Just set up my english debit card with paypal instead of using me credit card because of the exchange costs. just hope with the english address they wont mind sending it too an irish address as couldnt be assed waiting for it too go too the barracks and then on too me, only ever went and collected stuff when bought from ebay so not sure if is okay :confused:
