Hi my cable end broke a year ago. I fitted a aluminium aftermarket pull end on the cable which works a treat.

Went to open the bonnet, pulled the cable end used a bit more force than normal to pull the cable the bonnet latch popped and bonnet opened .

Went to shut the bonnet and the latch ain’t latching. Put a screw driver on the latch mechanism and pushed the mechanism down and the latch just keeps popping back up. The latch is not locking at all.

Have I stretched the cable? When I pull the cable inside the car I can here the latch mechanism working. But when dropping the bonnet the latch is not latching.

Any ideas and anyway I can fix this?

Help appreciated as always.

Thank you.
