Mend Fiat Punto Bonnet Cable Release

Punto Bonnet jammed?

Hi

The cable is loose & will not pull any more. Totally unable to open from front of car. Can you please help.

Many thanks

glad you got it sorted the secret is to push the cable sleeve if you can find it

Your reply is much appreciated. A local garage sorted it for me at no charge which was great. I've made a note of what you've said, should it ever happen again, plus I'm sure others will be searching for your answer.

Thanks
Chris

if your cable is brake then you need to reach into the engine compartment on the front passenger side. reach up (in the dark !!) past the water pipe that is connected to the radiator, watch out if its hot. Grope around and you will feel a cable sleeve running across the inside, push the sleeve towards the driver side and this should open the mechanism. it worked on mine about 10 minutes ago. Good luck
