#Bonnetrepair

[@Peterpepper69]

Mine just gone im sure the heat had something to do with it hopefully when we get back to normal weather it contracts and works again but what a palava to sort it out well done i haven't got patience for stuff like that. What where Ford thinking designing this torture contraption madness nothing wrong with the old normal lever system crazy probably cost a lot more to design as well

[@miketwiss1254]

Mick thank you so much for sorting that out you are a star. You know a ford garage wanted £280 to do that. Love you bro

[@themowerman]

No worries mate

You are such a sweetheart Mick for lending a hand like you do, you're always willing to go that extra mile to help others in their time of need. I'm sure your sis-in-law greatly appreciates what you've done for her. 👍🙂 Even in my time of illness you went above and beyond to ensure everyone knew I wasn't feeling well. 🤣😡🤣 Nice job Tim, Rob and Tim 👍

[@themowerman]

Thanks for the comment John.. (I think ) hope your doing ok my friend

[@Big_Johns]

Seriously you do a great job Mick and I appreciate that. I’m doing good brother, I hope everyones well your way.

[@Anonymices343]

Just done mine and it was pretty easy thx to your guide..my lock was sticking so I had to destroy and replace it for nothing. I would undo the 2 10mm bolts holding the lock from underneath next time😢 we live and learn..😅

[@themowerman]

@@Anonymices343 still.. well done for fixing it

[@emmaw6323]

I am saving this so I can do my own! Thank you ! Been doing screwdriver thing for at least 2 years now too 😂

[@themowerman]

Lol

[@bar7294]

many thanks for the guide. top tip, if you press down on bonnet before turning key left, it reduces wear on the X shaped white key that goes into the lock mechanism and hopefully it'll last a bit longer before failing again. cheers

[@themowerman]

Good comment

[@STTC]

Well done Mick, no greater feeling than solving someone elses problems, she was really pleased, well done buddy and a good demonstration video

[@themowerman]

Thanks cupcake.. it's a common problem and I guess I will be doing it again in the future

[@shauncurran3358]

Thankyou.just swapped mine.very easy with your instructions.. thanks again

[@themowerman]

You're welcome

[@MazichMusic]

Great job. Here in America, we have a hood release lever next to the kick panel under the dash that you pull to open the bonnet. I've never seen a blue oval pivot and contain a lock. Probably more secure than on this side of the pond. Back in the day, our car makers put a pivoting emblem over the trunk (rear bonnet?) lock. No electric release. A real pain on an icy Michigan morning...

[@themowerman]

Hi George.. yeah my old boos had a Chevy.. and I remember the foot peddle..

[@syllvabr9554]

Excellent explanation. This is the best video on you tube. Aqui é do Brasil estou com o mesmo problema. Obrigado

[@themowerman]

Thanks

[@barryewalt5368]

Very nice of you to help her out..

[@themowerman]

Thanks mate

[@billericaydickie6137]

Good job Mick, I've done 4 of these for friends & family on various Ford models .You can get a replacement white plastic plus bit that fails & keep the original key but a new lock & barrel is note a bad shout for what it costs.

[@themowerman]

Yeah mate it's a common problem.. I have see an aluminium one.. but it's expensive

[@jennysmith6604]

Thanks Mick managed to make a temporary key using a straightened paint roller while i wait for the part.

[@themowerman]

Fantastic.. yeah that's what I had to do

[@fixitorstripitGardenmachines]

Tidy job Mick. Well. Explained and easy to follow. Catch you in the next one buddy.

Your welcome mate..

[@dougnorton5204]

Hi mick, smashing video thanks. Is it possibly get a link to the parts you used please?

[@themowerman]

Hi.. some are different.. so just go on Amazon and look up the parts and look in the listing see if it fits your age and model that's what I did

[@jme36053]

Great repair. Wondering why the first step wasn’t to a locksmith to have the lock cylinder changed to operate with the original key.

[@themowerman]

Hi John.. it came with a new key.. so no point

[@2500gamma]

Good tip about testing it with the screwdriver before you shut the bonnet

[@themowerman]

Thanks mate

[@Ray_ray11]

That is the first time I have seen a bonnet lock that needs a key. I am used to the pull lever in the car.

[@themowerman]

Yeah ford have done them for a while now

[@RichsMowersNBlowers]

Mick the car fixer man strikes again. Good one mate (Buddy). I'll be doing the same on a Ford Ranger Bonnet (hood)

[@themowerman]

Cool mate

[@gravelyman]

That's a new one for me. Over here we have a a cable driven bonnet release from inside of the car. Is that because your drivers side is on the right? Interesting and nice job!

[@dougied4827]

Your a diamond Mick 👍

Great job mate

[@kylebroadhurst2148]

My bonnet is currently stuck locked because the lock has failed,but how do you get into the bonnet to replace it please?

[@themowerman]

You will need to make a tool like I did.. I used a drill paint mixer.. and turned it in to a flat head screwdriver..

[@bar7294]

If you don't care about the grill or have a spare from scrap yard.. I just grabbed the grill and snapped it off to get access then I just used a long screwdriver to open the mechanism. I'm due MOT tomorrow so I'm fixing it today with an aftermarket one.

[@grahamtaylor989]

Brilliant

[@liberal-libertarian9605]

What's that other part called the part from Amazon, not the long lock n release part. I might as well buy that part too if it's only £7

Great job mate.... Is the wired connection only a sensor to show if the hood is locked, or is it for unlocking from a push button inside the car?

Sensor to tell you it's open I believe mate.. thanks for watching
