Hi,

 

My 120i bonnet release latch is difficult to open the bonnet. It just started causing me problems. 

The handles comes right up but does does open the bonnet, I need to try it about 5 times and I am worried I will break the plastic latch.

My question is there a way to tighten the cable or should I just replace the cable, if so how easy is it to replace myself.

 

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Morning Joseph

The cable is fairly easy to change but before you do check the the bonnet catches are properly lubricated and working as they should.

      Any help would be much appreciated!

      My apologies if it is not appropriate for me to ask this on this site, One of my family has asked me if I could help him sell his Car, I have looked on e-bay and other various sites and I am unable to find any cars like his for sale! I am a former BMW owner myself 1995 540i and it broke my heart when I had to sell the car for parts as it was worth more in parts than I could sell it for at the time 😞 I personally feel that this car should be sold on to a BMW enthusiast and not on a site such as e-bay. If anyone is able to help me achieve this then it would be very much appreciated. Many Thanks and apologies if this is not appropriate for me to ask this on here.
