Snapped bonnet release cable - Connor - 20-08-2012
... On an Astra G (I think its a g, well its a 2000 regular anyway...) basically the bonnet release cable has snapped an my missis'dads car, so im after someone who has one or has had to do this before. Need a pic of the bonnet end of the cable so i can get my arm up and under to release the catch. Thankyou in advanceto anyone that can help. And no "this isn't an astra forum" bollocks... I know what you lot are like!
This is a 306 forum...
In there first
Ooooh that's clever

If it was a 306 i'd say BFH to the grille and tear it open.
It's an Astra though.
Set fire to it?

Stand back, it'll blow up soon enough anyway.

If it was a 306 i know exactly where the cable is to stick my arm under the bumper and reach up and grab it lol

smash the grille mate. the tab snapped on my old astra G cabby, smashed the grille and a bit of force on the cable got it open. do you have any idea where your cable has snapped?
and yeah, 2000 would be a MK4/astra G

Erm... Thread revival, because im bored lol... Well cause im such an awesome mechanic(read theif...) I managed to get the bonnet open about 2minutes before I was gonna do as you said popeye lol turns out it hadn't snapped, just the end worked its way off the lever and touch wood *gigidy* its stayed on since. Well I haven't had any calls saying its stopped working again

Probably over use. End of the day, it is a vauxhall so it spends more time with the bonnet open than closed!
