Default Anyone who has solved the bonnet release problem ...

I've been kindly supplied with the info' from the mod. team on how to solve the issue I have with the bonnet not opening.

However, I'm having problems actually carrying this out and would be grateful if I could chat to someone who has already done this themselves successfully for a bit of advice/reassurance.

Is there anyone on here that I could PM?

No, you must PM a Mod. in the first instance.

I'm against this information just being handed out freely like it is. Very few of these people ever come back once they've got the answer

I've always been amazed that we give it out freely to non paid up members!

It is not given out freely, the mods carry out some basic checks first before releasing the information.

Chris made it clear to me that he already knew how to get in, he was just struggling slightly with the finer details of the instructions he was already in possession of.

The issue of opening bonnets and generally discussing methods of releasing bonnets is a sensitive issue on a Public Forum.

If any member is experiencing difficulty in this area please contact a Moderator in the first instance.
