hi has anyone had to replace a broken bonnet pull cable obveously with the bonnet shut, is there any easy way of opening the bonnet, it looks like a bit of a night mare any help would be great

The cable has probably slipped off under the bonnet where it joins the catch. There have been a few reports of this over at brick-yard.co.uk Most folks have fitted a cable tie over the outer cable to stop it happening again. You have to pop the bonnet from underneath. It's tricky! Prepare yourself for some serious swearing...
