Well, since I last posted the rough idle cleared after two goes of Lucas oil injector cleaner saving hours and £'s. Probably helped by job relocation change and going up the motorway.
Anyways, the old girl uses a bit of water( leaky matrix) needing the water to be topped up weekly. So the other day went to pop the bonnet...... Snap! Cable went, ordered one from Craddocks. Cable came,looked at the advice on the site. Tried with tools I got... No joy finally called the RAC out as the car was in bits. He got the bonnet open ( with some air cushion effort that lifted the bonnet and almighty long 10mm spanner.)
I fitted the cable ( what a b###s ache) multiple tests to insure all was well. Dropped the bonnet shut....... Pulled the the bonnet release ......... Nowt!! Bonnet is shut, tried to undo the bolts on the latch again one bolt has come undone the other is rounding off. I'm at my wits end can't get access from underneath I'm at the stage where I think I'll have to cut the grille section of the bumper to get better access !!!!!anyone else got any ( simple like me ) ideas? Or if local to Solihull give me a hand ....?
