The bonnet release handle has come off altogether in my daughter's Vauxhall Tigra.?

Question

This came loose in my hand when I tried to release the bonnet last night. I need to know if there is an easy way to fix it myself, or will I have to take it to a dealer? Is there a knack? I have tried but without success

Answer 1

the handle is usually attached to a cable. Grab the cable with a pair of vice grips or pliers and pull to release the bonnet. to replace or repair check with your local auto parts stores to see what they have. No need to take to a dealer as any good mechanic should be able to fix.
