Updated:~
Completed a fix on my car in a couple of ways: the cable had developed some play so made these adjustments.
Remove the lock and cable holding clip at the side of the catch.
Remove the bolt holding the cam and clean/grease the parts.
The cable outer clip is adjustable once the same is loose- the hole can be extended a little if you wish.
I also required some packing to take up slack on the outer cable cover as it butts against the holding clip- one small stainless nut & two washers used- these are easily pushed along the cable.
Bonnet now releases far better with minimal free play.
You can also fit an emergency cable: a wire can be fastened to the catch (cam has a spare hole) then extended over/down the front grill - hidden away ready. etc.
Hope it helps.
Regards Bob.
