Broken W126 Hood Latch Bracket
Went out in 9 degree weather the other morning, pulled hood latch lever to check engine oil and the lever broke off at the pivot! I guess its off to the dealer or wrecking yard to buy a new hood latch lever/bracket. My lever always seemed hard to pull - does the adjustment under the hood on the cable increase/decrease cable tension? I think I will spend some time creating an emergency cable access mod so that if my cable ever breaks, I can access engine compartment to replace cable -
