Bonnet Release
Cable Replacement
The Jaguar X Type uses twin bonnet (hood) latches that are released from
inside the vehicle. A common fault with older vehicles (7 years plus) is
a broken or ceased cable, if you experience any difficulty in opening or
closing the bonnet that appears to be attributed to the latches then
replacing the cable is a must.
Replacing the bonnet cable is a little difficult, so allow a minimum of
2 hours for this job.

Bonnet Release Cable Removal

The release cable runs from the right hand latch to the left hand latch beneath the metalwork. There is a small plastic clip at the center of the car, it is easier to release this by removing the secondary catch assembly.


Do this by removing the six securing bolts shown above.
The clip can then be detached from the metalwork by squeezing the two edges
in with the small pliers.
Note: It is advisable to mark the position of the plate so that it can be
replaced in the correct location.
