2 Unscrew the mounting bolts, withdraw the lock and disconnect the cable.

Refitting
3 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but if necessary adjust the height of the bonnet front edge by loosening the retaining bolts and repositioning the lock within the elongated holes. The safety catch and antirattle spring should be checked for condition at the same time. Check that the bonnet is supported by the rubber buffers when shut, and if necessary adjust the height of the buffers by screwing them in or out.
