Had same probkem. Cable end snapped at front. Managed to get instruments through grill to release eventually. Long frustrating task! Lesson learnt, pull lever in car slowly, Don t force it. Repaired end no probs.

As Arctic has said earlier there should be a how to guide shown on here, If you send Arctic a pm he might have some excellent pictures to show you, but basically remove wheel arch access panel drivers side and get the cables through the gap

There is now but in the subscribed section, really it should be in the general section, i doubt any scally wants to take part of these old Rovers, and if they did they most likely know a quick and easier way to open the bonnet, like smashing the front drivers window https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=274518
