A clumsy mechanic has broken my bonnet release handle, is there another way to get into the engine bay?
Have tried that, the cable won't pull out at all, have tried every way possible.
Does the cable not even move when you pull it? If it does pull a bit its probably just that the spring on the latch isn't pushing the bonnet up. None of my Pandas have done that, whenever I need to open my bonnet I need to engage go-go gadget arms, and pull the lever whilst lifting the bonnet at the same time.
Actually on the subject does anyone know how to beef up the spring so the bonnet actually "pops" when you pull the lever?
Sometimes it takes two people to open the bonnet on Floyd. One to pull on the release catch inside the car and one person at the front of the bonnet to open it.
Just a thought. Have you tried screwing the rubber buffers down a little ? You will find one at each side of the car, just under the front corners of the bonnet.
