Snapped bonnet release cable
#1
... 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 Tongue

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?

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!
