Can anyone help me out with an rx4-need a pic

[RobMatthews]

I have a slight problem with my rx4...

The bonnet is closed on the catch and the release cable is not connected :spank

so i have a wire coathanger here dont suppose anyone has a specific pic of the catch so i can see how it works and fish and hook it open?

unless there is another way?

Thanks rob:Thumbs-up

Unbolt the bonnet and lift it up from the front

Just nipped out side and took these on my i phone for you... might help??  Easy for me... my bonnet is off so i can work on the engine

Thank for the pics, i\'ll go fishing over the next few days, i may be able to help you to if you still need engine bay pics, as mine is fitted with the series 2 rx7 engine...

You remove the bonnet brackets by taking off the front grill. Think there\'s 8 bolts, 4 each side, you can then lift the bonnet a bit to get to the bonnet catch.

No worries, hope the pics help!  And yes some pics would be really helpful to me especially as you have the same swap!

grant i\'ve not looked hard but surely the grill comes off from behind?

i think with a bit of luck and a wire coat hanger i\'ll hook it if not maybe jack it up in the air and have a go from underneath

grille comes off from the front of the car with screws. I\'m back now so can sort the rx4 bonnet for ya rob....cut the old one off haha

I did think about bending the bonnet but would rather not, just in case it ends up needed!
