Engine bonnet release latch not working properly

[Joseph80]

Hi,

 

My 120i bonnet release latch is difficult to open the bonnet. It just started causing me problems. 

The handles comes right up but does does open the bonnet, I need to try it about 5 times and I am worried I will break the plastic latch.

My question is there a way to tighten the cable or should I just replace the cable, if so how easy is it to replace myself.

 

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Morning Joseph

The cable is fairly easy to change but before you do check the the bonnet catches are properly lubricated and working as they should.

Thanks David for your advice, I have lubricated the cable and latch, hopefully it will be fine.

Thanks again.
