And will follow your advice and change out the whole cable - sounds like something happened to it and that's why there was excessive force needed on the plastic lever.Hope it's as farrken easy as you guys make out it is Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnet open. 30 mins or your money back. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I taped a rope to the end of the cable that was being replaced, pulled the rope through to the cabin, then taped the new release cable to the rope and pulled it back through to the front of the car. That worked well. Edited 17/05/15 04:18 AM by xr6tForMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
