I have another potentially serious problem that I really need your help with. How can I open my hood(bonnet) of my 1995 850 T5R if the cablem no longer works under the dash. The cable can't be reached or pulled with pliers under the dash, so that is out. Consider the cable broken somewhere in the engine compartment before it gets to the latches. I read that I can remove the front grill and pull on the lever, but I can't lift the hood enough to get to the bottom of the front grill as instructed on the Bay 13 web site. My questions are several. 1. Help. 2. will removing the front grill allow me to open the hood if the cable is broken inside the engine compartment? what are my options here?

Thanks,
