bonnet release

<< < (2/3) > >>

dew1911:
How do you mean? Does the lever inside the cab not even move or does it just not feel like it's connected to anything?

Incidentily mine pops up perfectly, hell of a clang to shut it again though.

Berliner Beer:
You pull the lever, which is very stiff. It does give a bit. But the bonnet doen't pop up. You need a second person to wigggle the bonnet very hard to release it. A real pain in the ARS*

dew1911:
Would it be possible to trace the wire and see if it is sagged / frayed somewhere. or maybe give it all a good spray of WD-40.

blackbeltbob:
just remembered that it needs an MOT this month as well so they can have a look at the bonnet while there.
also getting the steering and suspension bushes done as well with regards to my earlier topic of a banging defender.
BRING ON THE CLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D  :D  :D  :D
