Default bonnet won't open

hi guys, my dad has just replaced the alternator on his ztt, and after closing the bonnet after putting it all back together, it won't open now when you pull the handle. he's obviously disturbed something but the problem is how to open the bonnet to look. any help would be appreciated. martin

Default Stuck Bonnet

Hi, I've seen many posts on the same problem. Can't open the bonnet on my just purchased ZT, the cable release is very slack and won't open the bonnet. Need to get in there because the gauge says it's overheating (seen many posts on that too!) I understand that it's a security issue, but if someone would be kind enough to PM and let me know how to get in there would be extremely grateful.

Cheers

Andy

Default Bonnet Problems

Whatever steps you have to take to get the bonnet open, before closing it again make quite sure you have backed off just very slightly the bolts holding the bonnet catches to the slam panel (2 each side)
