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

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.

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

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...
