Monaro Water Dripping & Bonnet Cable Snapped

[DCLXIV]

Noticed a lot of water dripping from my Monaro this evening, which I eventually located as coming from the hole below. Am I right in thinking that this is just the air con evaporator drain & nothing to worry about? It was clear water and definitely not coolant.



This leads on to problem #2 - in my haste to check it wasn't another coolant leak, I broke the bonnet release cable. Is there any way to open the bonnet that doesn't involve the words "force", "break" or "expensive"? If not, a trip to Monkfish beckons...

I pulled out at least 12 inches of cable from the release lever end, so too far to get in with pliers unfortunately. Booked into Monkfish now, so hopefully they'll be able to attack it underneath with minimal fuss.

Fluids are all topped up, so hopefully I can last the next 2 weeks without needing to open the bonnet.
