Technical My name will give this one away

[sillyquestion]

Hello Everyone

This is my first post and well, as my name suggests its a silly one, :bang: . I have recently purchased a V Reg Brava SX due to a new addition to my family, I'm gonna be a Dad. But the problem is I dont seem to be able to find the catch to open the bonet, I wanna see the engine .

I didnt get a manual with the car and I didnt wanna seem stupid going to ask at the garage I got it from(coming on here seemed the best option.

If anyone could help it would be great, thanks in advanced and I WILL be back with more silly questions, you can bank on it.

Thanks

It had me looking too when I first got my Brava

What is worrying is that you didn't seem to look under the bonnet before you bought it . Haynes manuals are avilable, also when I got mine it came without a manual and Fiat were able to supply within a couple of weeks for £7. As for stupid problems when you first buy - well I hadn't been in a car with lift-reverse gears before and it had me crying on the phone to my dad in the asda car park . Anyway, welcome and congrats on your purchase and new bubs-to-be

This is possibly the funniest thing I've ever read!

Oh, and welcome to the forum, enjoy the Brava, good choice.

Hi sillyquestion,
Welcome and Glad you found the bonnet catch thing...nearly caught you out then !

Helz,
I know the feeling...way back my second car was an automatic. The second day I got it, I went to turn the ignition key and click! click! was all I got in reply .. not a sausage. All I did on the first day was to take the car home and give it a little bit of inside cleaning. Anyway, embarrassingly, I called the garage up and the reply was "Are the gears in Park/Neutral ?"...Oops !
