    Had a scare today !

    Took sue ( my wife ) for a little drive out today in the stag and was just saying to her that everything major is finally done now with stag.....parked up to walk dog and said to Sue : " I'll show you what I done this morning in engine bay to finish things off with ".
    Pulled the bonnet lever and all I got was cable coming out !!!! and now thought how on earth do I get in to the engine bay ??
    Called of at Tynwald Triumph and Keith Stevenson was there to come to the rescue.
    He drilled a half inch hole under n/s wheel arch and managed to feed a steel rod through and released the latch, even for Keith this was a first and worked .
    Very grateful to him to do job at short notice and found cable had come away rather than snapped so rubber grommet in 1/2 " hole, some wax oil and good to go but what a scare !!

    Anyone else have bonnet issue like that before ?

    Loads, buy an emergency bonnet release catch advertised on the internet, fits Stags and TRs 4/5/6 costs about £13 as I remember.

      Pick up another release cable and bracket. Fit to the driver's side of the dashboard (the screw holes are already there) and attach to the release catch. You've then got a ready fitted backup as well as the convenience of a release pull on both sides. There are some pictures in my albums: http://www.stag.org.uk/forum/album.php?albumid=50

          Seriously good advice from both and a thought for anyone with this bonnet release mechanism.

          Thank you
