Where the bonnet release is on a 52' plate Tamora? I've been lent one whilst my Tuscan is away and the bloody thing is already leaking bluey/green coolant everyone (loads of it)!

Appreciate an urgent response.

P.S. It's definitely not Aircon condensation!

It's underneath the steering wheel cowling at the far right hand side (towards the back). If you can locate the "emergency" door release to the right of the drivers footwell, the bonnet release is to the left of that. You have to pull the handle and lift the bonnet at the same time.

Mine leaked a load of coolant the other week turned out to be a dodgy crimp on one of the lower hoses. Hope all is OK with yours.

James,

I've just e-mailed you details of how to open it from outside the car, (far easier than using the handle on the inside and lifting the bonnet at the same time).

Rob,
Any chance you can e:mail same technique as I haven't really mastered the one hand under the dashboard whilst the other is lifting the bonnet method yet.
Thanks,
Iain

It's on its way.
