Bonnet is hard to open
« on: 29 December 2012, 14:13:22 »
The bonnet on my mv6 is really hard to open, have to pull the lever quite hard to open it up.
Any ideas how i can solve this problem?

You could try adjusting the rubber stops on the bonnet, Failing that make sure the spring thing & the catch have some grease on them. :y

There is a little bolt, just in front of the battery, which lets you adjust the tension of the bonnet release  :y

Thanks guys, will try this  :)
Just remove the front bumper first, in case it won't open again :P (i've got an irmscher front so can't just remove the grille)
