Bought #Rockstar in 1999,, will have to dig out the exact date as I've slept since then [emoji76]. 1989 G REG G60 BLUE/PURPLE.

thanks @20vtvw ill give this a go if all else fails! @lilfuzzer sorry my bad, I was describing as if sat in the car (I will post a picture tomorrow as its too dark at the moment) but yes its a 7 slat grill - great thought about long nosed pliers from that angle didn't think of that, may just be able to get it - just worried about breaking something as nearly all of the bits on the car are original :pale:

Thanks @jon_vr6 I tried that but to no avail, the left hand side is truly not budging, I even had the recovery Man from Green Flag attempt but couldn't get it open,. @wayne2015 sounds like a plan that would have come in handy if already in place, will plan that for next time! @lilfuzzer does that mean I need to break the grille to get to the spring? Thanks for all your comments guys [emoji813]️

Ok, i have a couple of issues with my G60, firstly battery, this problem can be resolved quite easily (i will have to buy new one) but I cannot now get into the bonnet. As I was about to jump start "Rockstar" other weekend, the lever inside the car snapped the connection to the bonnet release cable, and feels like its come loose from the left hand release pin. When pulled (with some grips) the right hand side releases, but alas, the left is stuck down solid. Is there a way to manually release the left hand side? Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm restoring my 1989/90 G60 Import and need a few parts. Ideally I would love to keep (Rockstar) standard, but I'm in two minds on that - I've owned the car for 14 years, was garaged for 13 of those years, and now back on the road. Below is my initial wish list... (This will probably grow) G60 Exhaust Manifold & Gaskets G60 Back Box (or full stainless system) UK Passenger Seat (Black Cloth) or just top half Replacement Rear Seatbelt Plastic Casing Replacement Dash Speakers (Up-Rated ones) Aktiv Speaker Grills (lost my ones) Front Splitter (mint if possible) Any help would be much appreciated, RUS - 07970 745424 G60 LHD
