Hi guys / gals
Does anyone know what i need to remove to get to the bonnet catch in the engine bay? Mine is shot and the bonnet keeps opening every few miles (very frustrating

)
Do i need to remove the radiator or the bumper?
No, You need to remove the n/s grill to get behind the main beam light asy.
Another of those seemingly simple jobs designed to ruin your day.
Its basically the same approach that you would use to replace a headlamp lens module.
There is a screw nr the lamp, a push clip above the kidney where the top trim cowl meets the grill.
Then there are two sprung barbs that need to be depressed to release the grill & its surround.
One is nr the dip beam lens & the other is accessed through the kidney grill.
I would put masking tape over the top face of the bumper bar near the grill & surround to it does not scratch the bar when you are fiddling about.
I would also suggest buying a pronged trim release tool.
You will find it useful on this car foe so many trim related duties.
Cheers
