Bonnet cable refitting
This is a VERY easy job to do
Found out that me cable had snapped when ah went to open the bonnet the other day! So to get the bonnet to open, ah had to remove the grille and push the lever over so it opened. Had a look in the Haynes manual and thought it must be easier than that! Ah undid the 19mm bolt holdin' the pull thing inside the cab, then back to the front removed the wee clip that's just to the left of the lever that the cable fixes to and taped a piece of wire to the end of the cable. Then ah pulled it back through to the front after releasing the cable from the push in clip just under the coolant tank.
Then it was just a case of attachin' the wire to the new cable...
and pulling it through to the engine bay....
Keep pullin' the wire...
...until it's through the wing...
Then ah attached this clip...
pushed the cable through the hole where the lever is and stuck on a heavier clamp bolt thingy....
then ah fixed it to the lever and stuck the clip back onto the panel....
Back to the other end...
..and bolted it back in place....
then ah clipped the cable back into the clip thing under the coolant tank and then screwed the grille back on...
