Hi guys.
Picked up a 2000 TD5 ES last week.
Was doing some servicing today and went to poop the bonnet....... Nothing!
On inspection i found the eyelet on the lock end had failed and left me with a nice amount of cable but no release. Managed to get the bonnet open by accessing through the cover plate underneath the lock and flicking the lever over, but now I need to replace the entire cable. Any suggestions on best way to do this? Or is it just a case of tying some string to one end, pulling it through, and then reversing the process?
Any help much appreciated.
Have also decided to convert to coils (please be gentle) and just wondered what issues the car will have if i drive it before I get the ECU sorted?
Many thanks guys.
Andy
