Must have saved £4 big_smile

A tad more than £4, I paid Peugeot £56 Friday afternoon, for the wire and outer sheath with the red handle pull thing, I then read that it may not even be the wire but it probably slipped out a plastic thingy, I then sussed I am to fat to fit under the front, I could have sworn I was slimmer.

Hello........again. I have ANOTHER problem and that is that the bonnet release cable has snapped at the catch end under the bonnet. The only online help I can find is a vague smash you way in through the front grill approach causing damage.
Does anyone know of or have any detailed instructions  to open the bonnet for a 2008 Expert Tepee?

I'm not having much luck, I went to check the oil and water levels today, the bonnet release wire has snapped and from what I can find you have to do a couple hundred quids of damage to get the bonnet open, unless someone knows different.

Ouch, that's a scary one.

Or is it a sudden click, and it releases?

It is as if it slips off the ratchet mechanism and immediately releases the handbrake with my body weight over the top of it having to get out sharpish to reapply the handbrake, dangerously dodgy and it is scary as it has already gently bumped into a car in front that had a handbrake that works..

Thanks for the replies, I think the seats have been changed at some point, there are two holes (front and Back) for the runners with the 'left' ones being used, maybe if I changed them so the seat was nearer the handbrake, although not sure what would an inch do. I don't think the end comes out but will give it a go tomorrow. And putting it in gear were I live (ventnor, fairly steep in and out of) may  not do much but WILL do it for some chance it will give me a split second longer to react, I may be a bit slow (LEAVE IT), I was hoping the answer was as simple as 'it's a faulty mechanism, son, swap it out and puts another one in'. I'll have another look at it tomorrow.

Hello, I have a bit of a DANGEROUS  problem, I have only had my 2008 Expert Independence WAV ( I am up for a hip replacement ) 4 days and have almost 'lost' it 3 times. When I apply the HANDBRAKE and then slide out (because of my hip ) over the  top of the handbrake my body pushes the handbrake sideways/inward and immediately releases. If I am outside and pull the handbrake on and then if I exert horizontal pressure towards the seat, the handbrake immediately releases. On a hill this is a DANGEROUS  problem, now is it a worn handbrake mechanism and I need a new handbrake or is there a widget/wedge that attaches to the seat to stop the handbrake moving inwards or is it me and I have to get a car with the handbrake to the inside of the drivers position. ANY suggestions will be gratefully received .
