bonnet release handle

(1/2) > >>

Bob696:
OK this is is going to make me feel like an idiot but I am going to ask it anyway.

I just pulled the bonnet release handle off, how the flip do I get it back on :?:  :?:  :?:  :?:  :?:
I have got 3 seperate manuals and non of them even mention it except to say you pull it to open the bonnet and I was bloody doing that already!!!!

Yours annoyed, embarressed, peed off

Bob :oops:

Ben:
I did that  :(

Couldn't work out a way of getting it back on, so I bought a new cable. They're not everso expensive from Paddocks, and only took about 10 minutes to fix (I'd got the grill off already so I could open the bonnet, so that saved all of 2 minutes!!!)

Make sure you lubricate the catch mechanism regularly when you do replace the cable...

Cheers

Ben

cheers guys ..... now I have calmed down a bit and am no longer in the mood to start bending aluminam, it makes sense to change it. Cheapest I can find localy is £7 from BLRS but thats not so bad if I dont have to pay for postage

Vam:
that happened to me too, gave up trying to fix it, open bonnet by grabbing cable through grill... it works :wink:
