Bonnet Release wont!!

Post by oddbod »

I think the Bonnet Release cable has come adrift from my saloon, any chance of a PM with a mystical bonnet opening spell? Other than that it'll be poking around with a screwdriver!!

It's a rod - not a cable, and you will just need to get at it from below (take care the car is well supported) and use a long arm!

Well done. Obviously you need something that won't fall out!

A paper clip seems fine, I "turned" it through the hole so its not just the first bit of clip.
