Bonnet release cable broken! Help pls.
« on: 01 September 2012, 15:20:45 »

Hi guys!

The bonnet release cable of my Omega 2002 2.2 auto was broken since last week, I can pull the release latch from inside the car and the cable will come out with it so I guess its broken frrom the other side. Drove my car to Paris this week and on the way back to London there's a message to check oil level, I've check the the how to Pop the Bonnet - Broken Release Cable plus Bonnet Pop Tool guide here and I already have taken out the grill but don't know how to and where to press or release anything to pop out the bonnet. Help please?

Thanks a lot in advance, you guys are all so helpful  :) :) :y :y

CHEERS!  :y :y :y

If you have the grill out it should just be a matter of levering the end of the spring back with a large screwdriver.It should pop open then iirc.
