I have a mk1 Punto, everything seems pretty decent and the MOT isnt up until JAN I'm just wondering if it will pass as the bonnet doesn't open the way its supposed to :slayer:. Someone (or something in my case) has to keep the bonnet release handle pulled, whilst the second person (or me in this case) has to yank the bonnet open via an L shaped bolt tightener. I took it to a garage before i got it open myself and they couldnt open it. So i move on to another garage who also failed then finally another who crowbarred it open, greased the mechanism and (luckily) didnt charge me. I drove it home and it then didnt open again. So the next day (after losing my temper) I had a go at yanking it with this L shaped tightener. But, if 2 out of 3 garages couldnt open the bonnet how can the check my engine bay? (sorry for my ignorance, this is assuming they check under the bonnet!)
Anyway sorry for the length :worship: just would like some advice from those who know more...
