Bonnet and Boot
barnhill4x4:
Prise the badge out of the handle/number plate light and push the lever through hole. That is what I have to do all the time until I wd40 it,
Range Rover Blues:
I have bonnet pins too and no safety catch, modern bonnet pins are double locking anyway :wink:
On a RRC and I presume a Disco they have a reputyation for the bonnet to twist or if it's rusty crack in the middle above the catch anyway.
Downside is it's less secure but you can buy locking pins.
If I ever get my new bonnet sprayed I'll take the pins off, they look cack when they go rusty.

Another vote here for bonnet pins. I noticed my bonnet twitching on the motorway and after seeing the results of another mud clubber whos bonnet opened at speed i got some bonnet pins for a few quid on ebay. I left existing cable mech on untill the cable broke! Its been through an mot with pins and safety catch with no complaint! Well, at least no complaint about the bonet, almost everything else was mentioned :D ;)
needbeer:
i'd rather have the pins my motor is standard and my bonet has never been off and its still a [!Expletive Deleted!] to get open it and i worrie when your flat out on the carriageway to let it flap up then BIG BRAKE then neen a beer lol
Sheddy:
The bonnet catch is comprised of two plates , one that slides against the other. Un-bolt and separate them and clean the bits of mud out from between them. thats what stopped mine from working. Re-grease them and put them back together.
A couple of weeks later, remove the catch completely and throw it away, then fit bonnet pins. Thats what I did when I got fed up with cleaning the OEM catch!
