I painted the plates the same colour as my car, usually they are just metal, i have also flattened the edges just in case at any time the cable gave way and you need to get the bonnet up, you can use a 10mm ring spanner on the plate bolts. 1 2 3 I had them on the shelf since 2020 and recently got involved with a thread asking how to remove them or adjust them, which spurred me on to finish the project which i did yesterday. 4 The ones i have taken off will now go back on the shelf.

Hi,that's a good tip,that is what I will do,flatten the edges to enable to get a spanner in there,ever since I got the V8 have had problems opening the bonnet,done all the cleaning and lubrication on the strikers/latches cables,but the bonnet was still hard to open so I thought I would take one striker assembly off and adjust one at a time for smoother operation,closed the bonnet and it still jammed,took me ages to open it so back to square one,more adjustments.Regards Ry...

Check the outer sleeve isn’t frayed / kinked, which can cause the cable to stick at that point. I had done all of the lubrication, as you had done, but it kept sticking. Finally bit the bullet and removed the slam panel to examine the entire assembly and found the cause. New cable from dmgrs sorted my issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had the same issue with my ZT-T, lubricating the cables had no effect, bought new cable set from DMGRS and fitted them (stripped, cleaned and lubricated the catches at the same time whilst they were off the car), the bonnet catches can now be released with one finger. Inspection of the removed cables showed the short (o/s) cable outer had rusted where it had been contacting the underside of the slam panel, so make sure you route it correctly and clip it in position when fitting new cables. |

Also yesterday changed the passenger headlight bulb, was amazed at how quick and easy it was to do.

I finally had a dry day to replace the lower engine mount on my CDT. Took it for a spin and it felt instantly better. Then the damned airbag light came on saying there was a fault. Mot is due on the 21st and I am getting worried.

Air bag light:- have a look under the drivers seat first and make sure the electrical connections are tight. Sometimes constant moving of the seat backwards and forwards loosen’s the electrical plugs.
