Hi . After some grief I managed to start my unreliable friend. Anyone got any ideas how to open bonnet which is stuck down on osf due to snapped cable. Also are they hard to change ??

Also I need a osf headlight if anyone has one for sale.

If u have text me on 07540 855526 I'm Kent area but post is fine.

Thanks wayne

Has one catch released but not the other?

The catches might be reachable from underneath.. the cable passes through a wire spring, so you need to find it, puch it towards the nearside of the car and the bonnet should sprint up.

I've got a brand new headlamp.. complete and unused. I think it's an offside one but I'd need to check. It's a manual one though (not the type with the electric load-height adjuster, if you're after one of those).

Just a thought. If your o/s headlight is scrap, why not carefully smash the crap out of it so you can reach the bonnet release through the hole
