Bonnet won't open Ford Fiesta 18.D N reg Old style

Went to top of the windscreen washer reservoir.



Tried to open the bonnet by pulling the orange handle under the steering column.



It was sticking - but sometimes it can take a bit of a tug



Tehn the orange handle started flapping about a bit.



Had a good look and think it is cracked.



Where can I order a new handle - maybe with cable (could that have stretched over the years?). Not sure of what the bit is called.



Is there an onlie ford parts catalogue somewhere that someone can recommend?



Thanks

Just go to a dealer, the hanfle is about a fiver. the bonnet may need adjustment to relieve pressure on the catch, or maybe just a bit of lube

Thanks for that. Just got one from an online breakers for eight quid. It's in the post.
