Fitting a towbar and have got the bar on and the wiring up to the drivers tread plate and have come to an abrupt stop!

Does anybody know how to get this little sod off (Bonnet Release Lever), looks like it just prises off as I can't see any sort of fixing, thought I'd ask here as I don't want to break it.

BTW If any one is considering adding a towbar to this motor with the proper wireing pack just pay the pro's to do it, they quoted me £550 for the full lot parts cost me £220 trade so the labour is the £330, believe me they earn every single penny!

Ok, have given up I know when I'm beaten... Have rung these people who are based in whitby LINKY for a quote to do the final bit of wiring. But if anybody knows somebody who is good at fitting towbar elecy stuff on Skoda (VAG) then there is some beer vouchers waiting. Wonder if Owelly has a contact there for some private work

Got to get it sorted soon, we have a camping site booked for the middle of May

Got to give the misses the bad news, wish me luck

what is it that you are trying to get through the bonnet release area

The towbar loom upto the canbus system Have managed to get the wires past the lever and in the area they need to be but tbh the complexity of the network control area that they call it seems very complicated and out of my league, removing pins from sockets etc.

On the back of the lever is a release tab. It's a bit tricky to get to because of the way it sits in the plastic surround.

With a flat screwdriver slide the tab out (towards the front of the car) and then pop the lever off.
