that sucks

if the cable has snapped close to the pull leveryou might be able to get at it by removing the back firewall carpet.

If it has snapped further away then I have no idea. Sorry.

Let us know what you end up having to do.

You probably have to remove the trunk lid to get at it if you are not able to pull the cable.

I have finally fixd it

(well got my enjine bay up at least)

what i done to fix it was put it up on ramps reach up and pop the enjine lid by hand from underneath the car, then i cut the wire half way and strippd the black cover off it, and poked it thru the vent, so 2 pop my bonnet now i just pull on that cable by hand, this is only temporally untill i can find a new cable,

any 1 know where i can get a new cable for this ?

thanx
