General Car Chat / Re: Emergency - VBOA Sywell this weekend.

« on: 03 July 2021, 20:39:22 »

Yes , it's been shut for about a year now . Back when things were normal I used to commute 1 day a week from Berkshire to Northampton , and would always leave just after 6am to give me 1/2 an hour of me time for breakfast at Scoffers . I'm now reduced to a bacon roll and a cuppa at a BP wild bean cafe - which is a major disappointment. I'd also be delighted to hear of any other greasy spoon alternatives anywhere between the M40 up to A14 north of Northampton.
Thanks
Mike

Omega General Help / My bonnet release catch won't catch....

« on: 27 December 2007, 16:10:43 »

Hello ,

On my '98 CDX diesel estate I was going to open the bonnet and do a few checks before visitng the out-laws tomorrow, i.e oil water etc , but when I tryed to use the bonnet release catch , it won't release the bonnet , it just makes a slight clicking noise. there appears to be tension on the catch as it is farily stiff to move ( so the cable is still connected ? ) , it's like I cannot bring the release catch far enough back . Almost as it the cable as streached .
Has this happened to anyone before ? , if I pop into the local garage does anyone know if it will be simple fix or something more expensive ? . Would the not so local dealer be a better bet ?
Thanks
Mike
