Newbie here and tearing my hair out. 2012 1 series 118d cabriolet. Hood latch rusted and stuck, local mechanic got hood open and removed latch. He said cable was a bit knackered, So ordered new latch and cable. Latch fine, but cable clearly wrong, too short, though I ordered allegedly correct part. Of course it is 2 piece but only tried to fit front part, nowhere near. Old cable is too long, but works ish , so I wonder if someone previous had similar problem.
Every supplier I have looked at (any) seems to offer what I have already got ie too short. So I am flummoxed.
Any ideas.
Rgds, Dave
