Transit bonnet catch??

[roseyweb]

Hi all

The darn bonnet on my mk6 transit won't open, it's been rubbish for ages and now the key just turns and nothing,

Any ideas on how to get it open other than disc cutting it.

 

Cheers

drill the lock out ,then use flat head screw driver in place of a key ,

I had mine go during winter. Take it to a mechanic and get a new one fitted the part only cost me £40.

Managed to get it open, I have removed the whole mechanism and replaced it with a bungee strap, works well so far,

Now to fix the massive oil leak

Before u drill lock try ur spare key or get a new 1 cut as your normal key has probably worn down, if you do have to drill lock u will have a different key for bonnet.

Yep it was only working with the spare, so swapped main for spare and now thats stopped,

 

going to get a new mechanism when I find someone breaking a transit I know it will be a different key but I can live with that.

There all the same (( naff )) if you replace the lock so to speak it will happen again just use a screwdriver to open and forget the lock bit theres nothin to nick under there anyway no even the battery lol

Do I have to drill it before i can use a screw driver

Yes mate done it with mine. Drill it out then you will have a key hole which a combi fits perfect
