Hi Guys thanks for looking, I had the infamous bonnet not opening yesterday, managed to finally get it open, however i managed to short something near the alternator while reaching up. After getting into my car i noticed the dash won't light up/ no ignition etc just dead. The central locking and hazards still work however it wont unlock the boot. Had a quick look at the fuse box's (internal and external and all seems ok, is their anything i should be looking for specifically? Any help much appreciated!! Thanks
Tried all that - cheers for the response, managed to get it sorted now it was the main battery fuse on the +ve terminal
Can I ask, how did you get the bonnet open? Mine won't open either, got both front grilles off but t can't find where the release catch is? Cheers
It's a faff tbh mate! The easiest way I found was going underneath and reaching up towards the latch with a bar. However after changing various bits I no longer had access that way and had to go in through the grill. From what I remember it was just the nearside(passenger) grill you had to remove. However after that there were 1 or two plastic bits you had to pull out too. I think it's a white bit of plastic that holds some wires / cables out the way. Then I think you squeeze your hand through the hole you've made, just above the radiator. Then it's a case of feeling around for the loose cable. It is a faff if your not 100% sure where the cable goes. Good luck!
Yeah its part and parcel of opening the bonnet that way, getting mangled hands! My hands are tiny and i still shredded them! Glad you got it sorted!
