You are such a sweetheart Mick for lending a hand like you do, you're always willing to go that extra mile to help others in their time of need. I'm sure your sis-in-law greatly appreciates what you've done for her. 👍🙂 Even in my time of illness you went above and beyond to ensure everyone knew I wasn't feeling well. 🤣😡🤣 Nice job Tim, Rob and Tim 👍

Great job. Here in America, we have a hood release lever next to the kick panel under the dash that you pull to open the bonnet. I've never seen a blue oval pivot and contain a lock. Probably more secure than on this side of the pond. Back in the day, our car makers put a pivoting emblem over the trunk (rear bonnet?) lock. No electric release. A real pain on an icy Michigan morning...

many thanks for the guide. top tip, if you press down on bonnet before turning key left, it reduces wear on the X shaped white key that goes into the lock mechanism and hopefully it'll last a bit longer before failing again. cheers

agree. If you apply a bit of pressure on the bonnet before turning key to the left then it saves on the plastic "keyed" part wearing out prematurely.
