There is no tension in it at all. I took it off and the cable is still connected to the actual latch, I'll get some pics up tomorrow and hope one of you guys can tell me if its how its meant to be.In the mean time is there any other way of opening the bonnet???Cheers Mike...

I think there is a new version of the bonnet release that is stronger.
