Opened the bonnet today to top up the washers, and the little toggle to pull forward the safety catch broke off in my hand. What a performance! Eventually I managed to lever it down against the spring and pull it forward with a pair of snipe nosed pliers, but you wouldn't want to be doing it at night in the rain. It's got a piece of string attached now through the grill so I can open the bonnet, albeit with some difficulty, but it's obviously not a permanent solution. Anyone know - can you buy the flimsy plastic tag seperately, or must you buy the whole assembly (or even the whole bonnet - nothing would surprise me)
I've never had a car that so many bits have just dropped off - in fact it's been rare for a bit to drop off at all in any car I've had.
