Has anyone else tried it yet? Whilst lots of debate and views are interesting, what I'm asking for is a bit of spanner action!

Hi Simon.
here you go take tension off the spring with mole grips.

Crack the nut with a 17mm open end spanner.

Then use your good flat blade screwdriver to adjust.
once you have found your height or that the bonnet holds down with out being to tight to pop back up, re-tighten the locking nut.

I will be taking these off in the next few day to clean and do the little flatting of the plate to aid getting the spanner on but i doubt once adjusted you will ever need to do them again.
Puzzle now solved
PS i knew i had sorted some of these out before, flattened the ends over and ready to dress and paint so they could be fitted to my bonnet, just in case i ever needed to unbolt them should the bonnet not open properly, but have done another mod to stop that, one which i would not have to remove the wheel arch liner and cut my hand to get to the cables.
