Are you using the american version of hood, Do you mean the bonnet? If so there is a release catch in the middle of the Star in the grille that you pull towards you to release the bonnet(hood).

thanks for reminding that with the touch of the keys i have traveled 7k miles with a flick of my little finger. you are so right, the bonnet is being down right difficult and still firmly attached to the rest of the coachwork.

i have not been able to locate a latch in the front central portion of the bonnet. is there one that i am missing?

help!!!!!!!! thanks...tom

Does that mean it's only a V6?

Wouldn't be too bad but they're cylinder numbers 2 and 8.
