front hatch release cable replacement.

anybody have any guidance for doing this?

Pictures of this new S1 first surely? :slight_smile:

Loads of Wd40. Wait. More Wd 40. …wait and wait. Then .pull handle HARD…rub bruised knuckles…voila…
Nice rusty inner cable inside very rusty outer."… Send to Speedy Cables…replace using mucho grease in the caple housing …fish out inner cable from the depths behind the dash…magnetic pickup good for this. Repaint catch re assemble and hope it all lines up.

Same principal for engine cover release BUT cant work out how to remove the outer end from the clam.
Moral of this story is to keep rain/ moisture out of the cables with loads of grease around the ends.

Well done Clive :clap:

So come on Clive, give it up!

Now either I’m losing my marbles or a post has been deleted on this thread :question:

I’m trying to give it up Ben but there is no cure :crazy:

Must be DTs. Setting in…posted this twice. :blush:
