Bonnet Cable Query/Advice please

Kevin Williams · 8th May 2021, 13:51

I opened the bonnet on my ZT yesterday but was more difficult than normal.

The bonnet pull/lever in the car has always stood out a little compared with the one in my 75 Tourer which is flush in the housing, and always seemed a little "slack"in comparison. Yesterday my normal gentle pull did nothing, but a second even more gentle tug opened the bonnet as normal, as though a cable had stretched.

So, while I'm not planning to pull the bonnet more than normal, is this a clue that one or more parts of the pull system is failing and a replacement needed?

Any advice welcomed-thanks in advance
