How many times have you been into a scrappy only to find that the Metro you want to cannibalise for spares has a bonnet that will not open no matter how hard you pull the release lever?
[This is tenuous... get on with it]Well, doing my regular fluid check on the fleet, I yanked on the yellow release lever only for it to make an unpleasant crunching noise - sounds rusty says I. Problem is, the bonnet release thingummy has seized solid. I can pull on the cable, but it's stuck fast.
Could anyone PM me a way of getting the bonnet open? The engine bay is fairly tightly packed and I can't see the cable emerging from beneath the car.
You guys are my last hope before I take it down to the local hostelry and attempt to befriend the scallys and joyriders.
Ideally I'd like to be able to get at the engine without wrecking the rest of the car, despite it being worth only the value of mixed metals.
