Bonnet problems
Happy New Year everyone but its so far been a pain in the backside for me today. Could anyone please help me with how to get the bonnet open on my 90? I had fuel problems this morning and so I wanted to open the bonnet and on operating the catch the cable snapped.
Could you please PM me with any ideas so not to compromise any security issues 👍🏻

If you remove the front plastic grille you should be able to get something up to the underside of the latch to operate it. There is just a small lever which the cable attaches to. Presumably the cable has snapped near the latch but if not you can access the cable through the top RH wing panel.
