Bonnet Springs

[Gaz19]

Hi all
Anybody advise on new springs for bonnet (it sneaks down on top of me while working) where to buy etc
Also looking for where lights under bonnet get their feed (live connection) from as I cant see any obvious wires???
Lastly, I put new card on rear shelf and its gone black (from the sun?)

Have a read it is a common problem roverp5.proboards.com/thread/6926/bonnet-wontt-stay-cure?page=1&scrollTo=53244

You should have a Mauve wire from the bonnet switch that goes to the fuse block there is a spare terminal on fuse 2

Sorry I don't understand your last problem

Just read the thread on bonnet springs - ruddy brillant.
Gonna get that done asap. Just goes to show how BRILLANT this club is.
And what a forum - geniuses the lot of you.

The rear panel issue related to the fact that the panel was black when I got the car.
I sourced and bought a mint used one and fitted it during the summer.
However by October it is mostly balck, so I acn only assume its a reaction to the sun.

Thanks again

What colour did the card start out before it turned black?
