| Post subject: | More fun! |
Took the K reg to work today to do a few jobs... Firstly i had the remove the bumper/grille and indicators as i needed to look at why the air horns had stopped working,the compressor working but the actual horn didn,t. This turned out to be a hose that had disconnected between the horn and the compressor,so that was an easy fix(i put 2 small clips on the hose incase it happenned again. The second job was to change the o/s headlamp washer jet,the bracket had broken that holds it to the back of the headlamp,so i had to remove the o/s headlamp to get to that,this all proved a bit tricky as i had the remove the whole front panel to gain access. Once this was done i started to rebuild the front end,all went well,i replaced the front fogs for yellow items aswell,this car should have yellow fogs but had one white and one missing foflamp when i bought it. Great all done,i gave it a good steam clean and dry of and it was great,that was until i tried to open the bonnet,the realease handle was loose and i went a VERY light shade of white,i know what had happened,the release cable had become disconnected when i was messing around with the front panel. So back up in the air again and with the help of a friend and a long crowbar he managed to release the catches in super quick time,which was a relief!!!! Bonnet up i saw the problem straight away,the release cable had come out of the half moon shaped holder and come of the n/s catch,so carefully replacing the cable and trying it several times BEFORE i closed the bonnet all was well,a good end but i was very,very worried for a while. |

Sounds like you had fun! The bonnet cables are a pain if they go wrong. I got lucky last time but the local dealer said the only other way to open it would be to break the headlight through and do it by hand that way. |
