Hi All,
Just bought another S70. Bonnet latches are sticking (maybe just one). I read the Haynes manual and adjusted the cable at the release lever in the cabin and adjusted the two under bonnet latches laterally but problem persists. It just wont pop up enough to get your fingers under and onto the main latch handle. If someone lifts with a piece of wire while I operate the cabin lever it will reluctantly. Any suggestions?

    Is it possible that the 2 engine bay latches are too tight? When the bonnet is closed, you should be able to push down another 1/16 inch with ease.

    The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are a 95 854T and a 98 V70R :)
