Omega General Help / Bonnet release cable removal

« on: 30 March 2018, 11:53:41 »

I'm struggling to remove the bonnet release cable lever in the cabin foot well. 
Does anyone have any knowledge on how to remove it.
It looks to me like it has a lug or two that holds it in place. I'm trying to force it towards the rear of the car as it looks like it might slide that way...?

Ah, if the radio never turned off, and thus flattened battery, start with the W contact on ign switch

OK thanks, I will take a look soon as..

I'd probably look to buy new, as second hand will be just as badly rusted given the age of examples now.

Given faff/expense in replacement, I'd vote new 

Yup I agree.....just spoke with VX dealer...£38.94.
Looking for a cheaper one, new, now...

Given that I have just snapped mine,    anyone have a bonnet release cable knocking around?
I assume they're all the same?!
Thanks...

I've taken the stereo out but things are not going well 
The battery is flat, I'm guessing because the stereo issue drained the battery ( which is only a few weeks old )
& now I've pulled the bonnet release cable too hard & snapped the cable. Alas, it's not the lever, the cable is snapped & can be pulled into the car.
I've had better days!! Ho hum.....
So the bonnet...I've seen the post about breaking the grille to gain access...is this the only way of getting the bonnet open?
If so, I might go back to bed....

Got in the car this morning - the stereo outer lights are on, so are the lights for the stereo controls on the steering wheel and the dash display has stopped showing the date. The stereo is now not working.
Fuses all seem OK....I'm thinking take the stereo out first. If it has a problem, would it effect the display?
Any thoughts please...
