Went to open the bonnet today and only 1 side released. The passenger side cable has become detatched from the lever in the cabin, it looks like the ferrule has pulled off. Fortunately I can get a pair of pliers on the cable to open the bonnet but moving forward I would like to fix it properly.
So, I'm after suggestions as to the best course of action. See if I can find the ferrule, I assume it's still in the handle and look to getting it soldered back on the end. Source a used cable set. Buy a new set of cables. Is a complete cable change an easy job? I'm a bit cautious about buying used as they're all gonna be at least 25 years old. I'm leaning toward trying to re solder the ferrule but I'm really not sure if it's a viable option.
