Hi All,

Open the bonnet, look at the release cable. Adjustment is self-evident :)

Unless I need glasses, the release cable seems to be tucked away behind the bulkhead... and I can't see any way to adjust it... :(

Sorted now, Many Thanks!! :y

I was looking for some sort of adjuster nut, but in the end I loosened off the cable clip, pulled the cable up abit and retightened.

Still not sure if thats the proper way to adjust the bonnet catch, but its done the job!! :)

Yep, you have done it, the cable clip is the adjuster, but it is easy to strip the threads on the self tapper, it does not need to be TOO tight. :y
