I've got the same problem Sean. I know the how to, but physically unable to carry it out (arthritis). Anybody nearby who can help please?

Hello everyone. Would someone be kind enough to PM me the 'open bonnet' instructions? It would be much appreciated. I had this problem before, in the form of having to use excess force on the lever and as a result, I modified as much as possible. I last oiled/greased the relevant parts 12 months ago... The last owner managed to break the lever, which I had to replace. Thanks.

All sorts of information online from how to wire a doorbell to how to ...... just about anything legal and illegal. Doesn't mean we should re-post the info everywhere just 'cause it's already 'out there'. There's no secret, I've never seen a member request for the info refused. It's not exactly rocket science either and easily worked out with some thought.
