Hi folks, here I am again to ask help for a trouble that needs a quick solution. the hood release cable it's broken and I can't open the hood so I can't drive the car.
I have found one replacement but I'm not sure it works, as it's not specific for my delta 88. I would interested also for the interior side panel where the hood release handle is located. Someone can help ?

I do not know your car exactly, but when I have had this happen on a few of my cars over the years, I was able to lay under the front end and stretch my arm way up to reach the piece that the cable attaches to. Sometimes, I could get that lever to move with my hand, some pliers, or a screw driver. The ones I could not, I was able to unbolt that piece from the front core support. The hood then popped open, with the piece still attached to the latch.

This doesn't help your broken cable problem, but you're going to have to get in there anyway to fix it.

Good luck!!
