Bonnet opening

Post by lacealdo21 » Thu Jun 25, 2009 11:29 am

Hi all

Newbie from Sheffield here, having just bought a 96 black over grey 2.5d auto tin top.

I may be being extraordinarily thick but i cannot get into the bonnet area. I have pulled the catch in the cockpit and the bonnet pops out but i cannot find any catches or buttons underneath the bonnet to lift it fully.....tell me i'm not going mad! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Matt

you are going mad :wink: in the middle of the bonnet is the catch, it's a bit of an awkward one to get you fingers round, but it should be there, it's a pull it up job if I remember right.

Catch is just to the right of the badge and down behind the grille. You need to do it by feel.

Next post How do I find the engine? :?: Its quite jaw dropping to find there isnt one in sight. #-o
