jmurray01 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hello guys, You may remember I posted a thread a while back referring to the bonnet lock on our 2000 Focus becoming unresponsive. Well, I tried drilling it out to use the screwdriver methood but just as I was getting close to succeding my drill bit snapped off inside the barrell and put a stop to that plan. As the car has an oil leak and I haven't been able to check the oil level for over a month now I'm getting very worried and need to get that bonnet open ASAP, so I have decided that the best option is to unbolt the lock, lift the bonnet with the lock still attached and then release it and hopefully finish drilling the hole and be able to put the lock back on, thereafter using the screwdriver method to open in future. As far as I can see, it is as simple as two bolts/screws holding the lock on that are accessable by jacking the car up and getting my arm up the front of the radiator, but before I try I am just looking for confirmation of this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
