how do I open bonnett
Hi The wire for opening the bonnet of my 73 MK 1 facelift has broken How do I open the bonnet and where can I get a replacement wire. How do I tell which make of engine is in my car ?
Re: how do I open bonnett
My brother had a pre-facelift with that problem, seem to remember it was possible to push the mechanism with a screwdriver through top edge of grill? Or, can you remove grill to get better access? It`s 40 years ago so a bit hazy - but it can be done.
As for a replacement, Martin at Caprigear. Tel: +44 (0)1507 343148 (workshop)

Easiest way to tell which make of engine is in your car is to upload a picture here and I'm sure someone far more knowledgeable than me will be able to tell you
