Hello,
I recently bought a Dec 1998 - built Carisma 1.8GDi GLX Auto, 89000-ish miles, very good overall condition. Next service is due at 92000 miles but I'm about to do it soon as I'm planning a longer journey across Europe and am not sure about latest servicing details. This is my first Mitsubishi, so sorry if any of the querries is inappropriate, I just want to be double sure.

Pulled the inner release catch to open the bonnet of my 1.8GDI - something twanged and one end of the release cable is now visible inside the car. How can I get the bonnet open? Please. default/57.gif' '57.gif' />
