#1: E30 hood release cable Author: evilnickwong, Location: TTDI, KL

Now to open my front hood, I gotta pull the handle damn damn damn hard only can. My mech said probably the cable old and stretched adi, so no more tension.

BavAuto quoted RM100+, so wondering if anyone here has a good spare/used unit before I drop the dough? Very Happy

Are you sure the cable?

Do tightened the lever screw that secure the cable. Its located on your lever inside below glove compartment. If loosed, it tends to feel like a soft cable but apparently it is not. When you pull the lever... i tends to go way back like lembik macam pisang. If you secure the screw (tight), sekali tarik.. POP the hood easier. mmmm.. paham tak nih?

Ooh so there's a screw to tighten? OK later after work I'll look for it, it's just on the lever handle itself right? Smile

Bro, where is the screw eh?
I looked at the lever, I see two hex bolts holding it to the body, I guess it's not that. I don't really see any screw anywhere to tighten.

Do I have to remove the glove box first or something?
