Go onto ebay search escort mk5 bonnet catch youll get an idea of what looks like
-
Your cable comes from drivers inner wing side and when you pull it the latch pulls towards the inner wing if that makes sense

Hi mate
Jack car up and put your hand up to the landing panel and pop the latch bit of a squeeze but can be done

Welcome mate
Lets see some pics

Hi Lynn welcome
One that requires no work will be hard to find these days but look for something pref standard thats not been tampered with or a bodykit hiding anything,get a poke around the battery tray and fuse box area under the bonnet also check the carpets for wet spots ,footwells known for holding water and suffering rot also arches and rear chassis legs etc
Chassis number under the flap on drivers side carpet see if its got 1 lol
Usual checks with Gov website for a free mot history check that will advise on any previous rot or welding
Check for any gunk under oil cap and get the car up to temp and make sure fan kicks in and heaters work
Theres a lot to check on these old cars now but most is always easily sorted
Anything you need to know just ask and someone will give advice
Cheers Del

Aw i get you now,fook knows mate i dont see the frame being bent if its not been off the car much hopefully just something daft somewhere
As for the Astra i bought a black 3 door A plate mk1 GTE about 9 years ago for £500 drove it home and stupidly sold it for £550 a week later as i never had time for it ,needed bulkhead welded etc but was decent enough
The same car in the same condition would be around 5k plus today lol
-
Yes they've always been a love hate of mine these cabs but i keep end up going back to them, ive had more than id like to remember but the past 5 years ive calmed it a lot and also they are getting harder to get now ,no more £200 quid shots to strip for parts lol
-
If that runner isnt going straight to the top try swapping the rams over incase that side isnt pushing the machanism right up worth a try
-
Its always these things that tests us mate i was ready for selling mine the other day or burning it out as its over fueling badly due to the ecu needing remapped it was meant to be a plug and play ofab Rs turbo ecu from RM motorsport but it has caused me more headache than anything, now i have fuel in my oil so that also needs changed,even worse when its nice weather lol
Take a breath and a timeout get a coffee tomorrow and start again buddy
