Ive tried a search to no avail.

How do i go about tightening it up? You pull the handle and it doesnt do anything, but then i have to pull it right far forwards for it to actually pop.

Someone said about moving the black blocky things under the bonnet But that did naff all so i put them back how they were.

How do i tighten it?
If i cant, how hard is it to replace? Expensive?

Thanks
Marc

Look at the slam pannel (The bit the bonnet shut down onto) on the right hand side there is a little bracket with one screw that holds the cable.. You just loosen the screw then pull the cable a little tighter then do it back up

But remove the grille first Marc - just in case you have adjusted it too much and the cable doesn't do its job properly!
