Our Bonnet catch on this Vauxhall Astra Mk4 has snapped and needs to be addressed. I ordered a new cable but it was the wrong one so I investigated the issue and found the problem. Hope it is useful to you.

Another top ‘how to’ vid mate, used your one on my Zafira when a little plug had been left out by Vauxhall technicians when the car was recalled, watched your vid, had a look and put the plug back in myself and straight away my AC was working again. These vids are priceless, well done mate

Proper engineer. My tutor was ex REME he wouldn't hesitate to make ancillary parts himself. First morning in the garage he asked me a question. " Driving along and your rear wheel overtakes you. All wheel nuts are gone, what would you do?" Answer: take one nut off the other 3 wheels and have three nuts on all wheels. Took me a while to work that one out.

The tensioner being on the right hand side and the direction he pulled doesn't make sense to me.... Surely he would be adding more cable to the lever... Which btw is on the opposite side of the car....?? I get that the slack would be getting taken away from the catch but just adding it to the lever doesn't compute as to where the slack actually went... Anyway this i think will prove to be helpful either way... You've given me an idea I came here because my bonnet catch pulls all the way back and wont open the bonnet... I fitted some new headlights which I think may be applying some awkward pressure to the bonnet and a radiator... It was getting dark so I didn't fill the radiator and shut the bonnet hoping to carry on the next day... So I had an empty cooling system and a locked bonnet and a DVLA notice under my wiper....
