ALL SORTED NOW, VERY EASY WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT IT>>>> IF ANYONE GETS STUCK PM ME AND ILL LET YOU KNOW AS YOU DON'T NEED TO DESTROY ANY MESH OF ANYTHING :D:D:D


I went to open my bonnet this morning and seems the cable has came off the latch. :confused:

Now iv tried getting my hand under the bonnet, but there isn't enough room.

The only way i can think of is to snip the mesh and get to it that way, but i dont really want to do that. :cry:

Is there any other way i can get it open without damaging something?

Any guru's on here??

Opening and closing bonnet too much mate lol. I'm afraid unless you can get a pair of very long nose pliers in between the mesh it's gonna be mesh out job

Its came off before but it was when i had your old bumper with no mesh fitted so it was a piece of cake, but now i have a 9 bumper on, its much much harder. i put a zip-tie round the cable to keep it in place but never bent the metal to hold it in properly.
