Z3 bonnet stuck big time.

[Justin Cyder]

Any ideas?

I was mucking about today doing an adjustment on the bumper. I had sockets & bolts lying on the slam panel when like a wally I shut the bonnet to check the panel gap & then I couldn't open it again. Something is interfering with something.

On top of that, the release has been playing up lately & wit a few pulls after this, the bowden cable broke. So now I'm knackered. I've heard I can pull the kidneys to get access to drop the secondary fan & that'll give me wriggle room to pull the cables, but right now, I'll take any suggestions.

on my E36 one of my catches siezed and then when i messed about the cable snapped.

I took it to my local indy. They took the arch liner out to change the cable and ended up replacing both latches!
