xantia bonnet stuck
following the last thread has anyone been able to open a bonnet (new grill style) when the offside catch does not release. Near side releases on the cable so presumably the connecting rod is broken or detatched.

Re: Xantia Bonnet stuck!!
Amazing. I just typed in exactly the thread description into google and booyakasha here I am. I've just done the clutch on my 97 CT Turbo and had enough of home mechanics till this afternoon when I went to supermarket, came back and whats that under the car? Smells like LHM spirit. Hmm T joiner looked like culprit on returns near rack. Anyway I go to pop the bonnet and ploink the red handle flys out of its cradle. So I have a look here and see what I have to do, I need to push that clip holding the spring on the left latch to the right methinks. Bloody car!
got it. cable kaput so off to find another. I don't think I'd like to trythis on a series 2 to be honest. Access to the mechanism would be impossible if you can't get that shroud off, I had to pull the grill off mine and those pop in plastic rivets on top are fiddly. Can't see how you'd get near them on a series 2.
