Hello All,
This is my first posting on the forum after getting by on my own. I've had Vauxhalls since my first 1974 Viva & now have a 1997 2.5V6 Omega. So far I've had contless problems with it but I still think it's great. The latest problem this morning has caught me out unfortunately. Upon starting up the car I noticed the low coolant light come on. I get this every few months & simply top it up with water & anti-freeze. I know this is generally a sign of impending engine doom but I know the head is fine as I had to remove it last year & the oil is still fine.
The problem is that when I pulled the lever, it seemed to come off the pivot & hence didn't open the bonnet. I've not had a chance to contort myself & take a more detailed look yet & the Haynes book of lies only has a brief procedure for replacing the cable & no picture.
I'm hoping the lever can be re-fixed easily so if anyone has any advice or perhaps images of what I need to take a look at I would be very grateful
All the best, Phil
