right, well im sure my cable has stretched and my little white handle has snapped but i can SOMETIMES open the bonnet with the help of someone else if they pull the handle while i bounce the bonnet. I was wondering there is a way of tightening the cable or anything else i can do which makes the bonnet release work better? any help will be appreciated

is the catch seized? may be worth while giving it a good soak in wd40, free it off if its sticking and see if that helps

its like where the hole is on the slam panel where the catch is, when you pull the cable it doesnt move the catch out the way for the bonnet to release .. if that makes sense.

I had this problem and thought the cable has stretched, i could pull the white release lever and nothing would happen. I sprayed aload of WD40 on it and it has be working fine ever since.

I sprayed the WD40 on the release mechanism and where the cable joins onto it.
Clearer way of saying it instead of just 'spray WD40 on it'

okay lads nice one. if i was to loosen the clamp, which way would i pull the cable through to tighten it, as stupid as that sounds. towards the catch or away from it?
