Barry Blue Powered by Ford's 3.7 V6 = Zoom Zoom Zoom! Member 890 Member For: 20y 5m 21d Gender: Male Location: Tweed Heads Posted 22/03/07 10:25 AM Share Posted 22/03/07 10:25 AM Came home tonight and went to unlock the bonnet, but the cable came off the pull handle. So I got a pair of pliers to pull the cable but it won't budge. Maybe its seized at the other end or something, although I had it open 3 days ago.The question is, how to get it open first?
