3 Working inside the car, remove the screws from the cable release lever located below the left-hand end of the facia.

4 Unclip the cable and withdraw it from inside the car.

5 If necessary the bonnet striker may be unscrewed from the bonnet and the safety spring unclipped.

Refitting
6 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but check that the striker enters the lock centrally and holds the front of the bonnet level with the front wings. If necessary loosen the lock bolts and move the lock within the elongated holes.

Adjust the bonnet height by screwing the striker pin in or out. Adjust the rubber buffers to support the front corners of the bonnet.
