broken bonnet lever latch

[bbr81]

last night I pulled my latch to pop the bonnet. Now the bonnet does not close and the lever in the passenger well is all slack (does not work)

The bonnet does close but pops up that 1 cm for you to open, it does not securely close (I guess needs tension on cable from lever).

I assume the cable from the lever to the latch at the bonnet has gone?

Anyone had this problem, I dear god hope it is easy to repair.

Also because of this when I lock the doors I get that high pitch sound indicating that one of the doors is not closed properly, but it must be a sensor on the bonnet because, when I push down on the bonnet it goes off (but the bonnet then pops up when I let go!!). The sound goes off after about a minute.

I have had problems though with the alarm, it tends to go off now because of this problem but not always.

Any ideas are very welcome

New catch mate it should be an easy job as its just a cable
you need to take the cable out of the old holder as i think its stuck open ??
you might need to give it a tug to free it up good luck mate


hi ive just been reading the haynes manual and it looks like you have to take the glove box out to get at it looks a really easy job to fit a full cable
Get you self an haynes manual mate there a lifesaver

Hi!
I eksperienced problems with the bonnet catch on my megane 2004 1,5dci sporttourer. The bonnet popped up while driving and flew into my windsheeld and broke it.
Have you sorted out your problem and which car is it?
