Hi All, my name is Chris and I'm in the south of Tassie and have just become the owner of a Mk1 golf 4 door - Woo Hoo!!. It's been a long time between VW's as my last one was a 1964 1300 bug about 26 years ago.
I have a few small items to attend to prior to registration, the most pressing being to replace the motor - apparently they don't run too well with 1 buggered cylinder (not sure of the exact problem - yet).
This leads me to a glitch - I can't open the bonnet - pull the bonnet pop catch, the cable works and slides the catch but no-go on the bonnet releasing - any one have any pearls of wisdom on this topic? I'm reluctant to attach the problem with brute force/hammers/explosives etc just incase I damage my grill, all suggestions gratefully accepted.
Cheers
Chris
