Managed to fix it now, but for something so simple and straight forward what a pig of a job had to clamp the cable take it all apart and give it a thourogh de grease and clean as loads of dirt built up, BUT it all works now 😃 Thanks for the help guys
Just topped up oil and few other bits under the bonnet and I've gone to close the bonnet but it won't close and engage in the lock it just rests on the catch, after having a further look the release handle is stuck up still.
Not had a chance to have another look but would this be a stretched cord or something abit easier?
