What do I do if the bonnet lock cable snaps?

You’ll need to access the lock from underneath the car or remove the front bumper to release it by hand — a workshop visit is recommended.

Can I lubricate the cable instead of replacing it?

In the early stages of sticking, yes — with a proper cable lubricant.

Is a snapped cable a safety issue?

Not for driving safety, but it blocks access to the engine bay with no alternative way in.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
