If you are lucky the cable broke right at the bonnet release lever under the dash. In this case a vise-grip on what's left will open the bonnet. If you are unlucky then there are two possibilties. If you have a fuel flap you can stick a wire in and try to catch the latch that way. If you don't have a fuel flap then you better hope the trunk is empty because you have to pop the large rubber grommet by the brake master cylinder, push aside the carpet and start fishing with a wire for the latch. Of course you will have to raise the car onto jackstands to do it this way. Take your time and be very patient as it is very frustrating to do as you generaly do not succeed on your first several attempts. I do not feel I am giving any great secrets away about breaking into a Delorean as it is not easy or quick to do this. After getting the bonnet open and fixing the wire install the back-up cable so when it happens again at least you can open it easily. Same goes for the engine cover as far as a back-up cable although it doesn't seem to break as often.

I asked the DOA and they gave me instructions to go in through the brake fluid reservoir, but I was wondering if there is an easier way to pop the lid. > > Aaron P. > > Take Pride in who you are! > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
