SteveandMichelleFocus Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hey everyone! Just gone to fill up the screen wash and we can't open the bonnet, the key just turns and nothing happens! Is this going to cost a small fortune to fix? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjiks Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 i currently have the same problem my machanic opened it from the hinges but with great difficulty so after that i started googling for a solution of wich i found alot of people are experiancing the same problem personally i believe Ford should have recalled this technology and bring back the all reliable cable opener i want to patition on this cause paying R2000 for something that is clearly factory fault is not on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 A petition is not a bad idea Brian, however, I do not believe that Ford will listen. anything is worth a try though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 get onto bbc watchdog to see if they can do something about it! would it not be easier to break the top grill and access the cables and open the bonnet? i know an RS owner had this issue and various members (large convoy going to Ford Fair) opened his bonnet by removing the lower bonnet and used a large screwdriver.

Mjiks Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 i was able to open the bonnet by removing the hinges and unsrewing the lock with an extended ranch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanfcs Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Would seems that the key doesn't go in far enough as the hole in the grill won't allow the fat remote key to operate the lock.once I had aventually opened the bonnet, I removed the grill and drilled a bigger hole in the plastic behind the ford badge.key now operating like a dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
