Dazfirz Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Hi guys new to site like to say hi to every one. I have a 2008 T220 panel van and I have a few issues with it the first being the bonnet catch will not release belive I have to get to it underneath. Secondly my rear doors will not open ,it. The top latch will not release the doors ,the manual release has fell to pieces and the doors are slightly ajar at the bottom tried to close but will not lock into place the central locking works fine. Any help or advice on these issues will be gratefully excepted. Nice one guys Darrell. Edited February 14, 2019 by Dazfirz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 The hood release is usually just a few moving parts, and a cable. Sometimes you can adjust the tension. No way to tell until you actually examine the cable and it's motion. Start at the handle. Check that part in the truck that you pull on for release. Is there a cable there which you can apply a little tension? Back when cars actually had a throttle cable, the accelerator pedal had a steel cable at the top, which lost tension over time. Some guys would use cable ties as spacers to take up the slack. Just pull away the slack on the cable, and wrap zip ties on the slack of the cable, then release.
