timmsy19 3 Posted July 5, 2006 Evening all. had a bit of a problem tonight when i came to lift my bonnet up. the bloody thing has snapped of on the drivers side hinge. the lifter is fine but the bonnet lifts and closed pissed. any ideas what to do? have been thinking bonnet lifters from the 106 as its more of a perminant fix, however how easy would it be to fit the new hinge???

DaveW 6 Posted July 6, 2006 when you close it push it down on the dodgy hinge bit it should shut ok, plus they can be a cnut to get if the bolt has snapped off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmsy19 3 Posted July 6, 2006 it doesnt close straight so its a pain in the arse at the mo. as i said the bonnet rest is fine and so is the passengers side hinge its just the drivers side which i think the bolt has finally snapped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vern 0 Posted July 6, 2006 This happened to my old diesel 205, its dead easy to replace the hinge it is a simple unbolt, bolt, but would advise to get a glamouros assistant to hold the bonnet while you do the swap over, to save any possible damage to the paintwork.
