#1: 51 plate lx diesel bonnet help Author: jamie5706, Location: wolverhamptonPosted: Tue May 10, 2011 9:23 am ---- hi there everyone , i have bought a 206 diesel with a few problems, 1 of which is the bonnet release catch has been broken & the inner cable has snapped, i have tried to get a screwdriver through the peugeot sign to flick over the catch but nothing is happening, how else can i get the bonnet open, i havent had the car on axle stands or jacked up yet, can i remove the front grill easy enough or is there a simple way how to do it
im really struggling here...
cheers jay
