An easy question about 'popping' the bonnet

Mar 18, 2005 1 Replies

OK before you all think I am totally useless, please remember that I am disabled and totally non-engineering orientated. Right the bonnet on my beloved Disco has stopped popping open when the cable pull is used. I have checked the mechanism which is operating correctly in that it clears the 'bolt hole' with no problem. It seems that the spring has sprung? Would I be ok if I packed the spring housing with a few washers or would that cause more problems? Or do I have to buy a new spring?



Any help is always appreciated, thanks in advance.


Hi No name

I have had a simular problem with mine, but was given a tip by another dealer, and its all down ti bracket where the cable goes through, after a time it bends towards the clip, all yo need to do, is get some "molegrips" and bend the bracked back slightly and it should be ok !
