Not if @Grumpy comes, he'll want a tin of beer !;)=))=)) Good job done Steve, nice one!

Tony.
If I'm honest Tony I forgot do the bolts but then thought they would scratch up with the wrench anyway so I'll spray them up in place after masking off

Its not a long job but best done with three people. It can be done with two as my brother and I did tonight.
It's easier to leave the hinges on the car.
1. Disconnect the earth strap on the. nearside.
2. Remove the under bonnet linner using. a small pozi screwdriver unscrew the. little screws but don't remove the . screw then pull taking the rawlplug with the screw.
3. Pull the pipes off the windscreen jets.
4. Unclip this pipe from the bonnet
5. Call in your helpers one on each side.
6. Remove the top bolt on the bracket.
7. Now ask your helps to make ready for the weight of the bonnet.
8. Remove the last bolt on each side.
9. Help your helpers to place your bonnet. on the lawn.
10. Now put the kettle on for a job well done

I'm going to need to ask you to fill in steps 11-20 on re-fitting. Looks like getting it off is the easiest bit!

It is as long as you have help ideally three people but it can be done with two.
