From cab undo the back nut on the handle end of the cable and slide away from bracket. Pull the whole lot out into cab...

    Bonnet release cable

    Snapped on me last night! How much of a job is it to replace it. Looks OK until it disappears under the wing. Will I need to remove grill/radiator to make the connection to the catch?

    Squealing discs

    Done about 2k on new front disc pads, fitted about two years ago. They recently have taken to really squealing for the first few times I use them in a day. Seems to wear off. Is it likely just to be surface rust on the discs or do I need more copper grease behind them
