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.
