Bonnet release pull broke
My bonnet release cable handle broke a week ago so I got replacement off of eBay, big mistake, the plastic is low grade rubbery plastic and the cable pops out, it works with a set of mole grips but is quite stiff.

I am planning to replace the cable and get a new release handle, what a pain. Evil or Very Mad

Fixed it with a new cable, far smoother.

The bad sticking cable is what destroyed the original bonnet pull lever. The new cable is so much easier to use, pity I didn't change the cable first.

I hope you greased the new cable well before fitting!
