The bonnet release cable on my Montego has snapped. After reading through the recent thread on a snapped Maestro bonnet release cable I thought I'd give opening the bonnet a go.
So far I have ruined a good grille, skinned my knuckles but have not got the damn thing open.
I found the cable inside the slam panel from an access hole underneath, but the cable has snapped right by the catch and the tubing is empty, so pulling on it does nothing. My second problem is that there are no holes in the slam panel any closer to the catch, so how the hell do I now operate the catch and get the bonnet open?
