lycara 0 Posted February 23, 2010 Go to the car this morning fire it up and notice the coolant light flashing :( So go to lift bonnet up and bonnet stuck :mad2: .I do wonder why I have this car sometimes, suppose it keeps me on my toes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gsbellew 0 Posted February 23, 2010 Roll out the drivers seatbelt, clip it on to the bonnet release lever and then retract it so that it pulls the lever and holds it tight, then go round and lift the bonnet, you may need to push down slightly and then lift, if its just stretched cables it should open. Obviously won't work if the cable has snapped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krnau 0 Posted February 23, 2010 Thanx that worked :D Seems I left the expansion tank lid of when I last topped up then water in the coolant :lol: it happened once to me as well :lol: since then, I always leave the expansion tank cap where the bonnet's "hook" engages the chassis (bad description, useless words, but you get the idea :nuts: ) in order not to forget Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
