Bonnet Release Problem...

[mazgtr]

This seems to be getting steadily worse. I go to pull the bonnet release handle, and am finding it harder and harder to get it to release the bonnet. Sometimes it doesnt matter how hard you pull it (im talking commando style) it just doesnt budge. I try giggling it and twisting and turning the handle, and usually after 5-6 attempts it works fine. But where as it used to take 1-2 tries, its now 5-6 times, and im worried one day it aint gonna work at all.

Can anyone please help me with where i should start looking for the fault? Is there a cable tightener or adjuster, either under the dash or under the bonnet?

Please any help appreciated, just want some advice before i grab the spanners and go on another crusade..

Thanks guys....

Hose just about every link, cable or whatever in WD40. This will free everything up & stop your problems. Afterwards you may want to slop some white grease about.
