if you're in the north-west, there's only one place you need to go...awesome-gti
forum sponsors and legends in my book
i won't let anyone else work on my car :)
also, looking at your new pics, the first bit of the process works, as the large catch (the one at the back) releases
just can't seem to move the smaller one at the front :(
i'll try and get a pic of what mine looks like, but i think my problem is that the bit which needs to move forward can't, as it's behind that round pin (which looks like it's meant to support the catch when not in use)
having been out for another go it looks as though the bit you've said i need to move towards me, is stuck behind / below that pin wich is at the bottom left of your pic :(
ah, cheers....it wasn't doing but after getting the grill off i can access it. it doesn't seem to move at all though
to be fair i was trying to 'push' the bit you mentioned, as well as force the actual catch (which is holding the bonnet hook) to the left
don't suppose you've got a pic have you?
my LCR's been off the road for almost a year now, and it's time to get it back on it.
however, obviously, the battery has run out and needs changing.
however, i am unable to get the bonnet open.
the interior handle works, and i've popped it up to the first stage. no amount of prodding...
