1990 Mercedes 190 E Hood Release Latch and Radio/Tape player problems

I recently Purchased a 1990 Mercedes 190E and their is a tape jammed in the cassette player, beacause of this i cannot use the radio so i was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it or knew where i could get a replacement. Also when i pop the hood from the inside of the car and i go to lift it up I can;t because their is a latch that is supposed to stick out of the grill that you pull out to release the lock mechanism but the latch to release it broke off before i bought it. So i was wondering if anyone knew where to get a new one of those.



Thankyou very much, matrixtna

Buy a new radio... Bekker radio is not worth keeping or repairing.

The dealer should have the latch for you there.

Ok, but about the latch, i bought this car from a family friend not a dealer, so i dont know if the dealer would have one and this car is from

1990. Do you think maybe if i went to the dealer they would like order me a new one or something

Thankyou very much matrixtna

I suggest you to get a pioneer CD player with MP3. Pioneer's panel matches the merc's red wood panel and it cost around NZ$400 (150 pounds) only. The professional Auto Hi Fi installer only need half an hour to complete the job.
