Thread: Bonnet release adjustment?

Mate mine started playing up recently and I had to replace it. Couldnt see any adjustment... Just a suggestion though.. Leave off the anti tamper shield... Cheers

Maybe lubricate the cable? painful though.

Slightly loosen the latch or catch bolts. Move them relative to each other until you find the spot where it opens with an easy pull of the cable.

I did that. I guess it depends what's happening. If it's stretched like mine you are up for a new cable. Cheers

I'd be more interested in moving the damn thing to the driver's side, anyone tried that?

Regards

If you did that, it would open the boot.

x2 for removing the anti-tamper shield. absolute pain in the ass when your cable breaks and you've got no way of opening the bonnet.

X3 for removing the anti-tamper shield.

Wonangatta Valley, Victorian High Country 2014, a snapped bonnet pull cable on my D2 but lucky to be in a club group and have access to "know how" and other vehicles well equipped for any eventuality but it still took 3 hours to gain access - most of it through smashing the anti-tamper shield to smithereens.
