Subject: Re: LR 126 Bonnet release assembly
Bonnet release access, if your bonnet release assembly is jammed or rusted.
I thought I should include this tip now, before I move onto more interesting parts of the car.
To remove the small square section of dash-board which holds the clock and electric window switches in place.
Firstly, remove the dash-board glove box wooden cover, this is held in place by five screws to piano hinge at bottom and two screws for side sliding hinge assembly.
Next remove the two screws to left hand side edge of square section of dash-board and a small ferrule with ball bearing which can be twisted out and removed with pliers), then very carefully twisting to take off. These are accessible only when glove box wooden cover is removed. [The picture shows this dash-board section loose and easy to move].
The top of the bonnet release mechanism can now be pulled towards you and the bonnet should release. [An old picture when this was first accessed is shown].
