Disaster after 11,000 miles and 21 months. The hood release lever on my Nov 2011 +4 has broken. Removed the single screw attachment and it's snapped inside where the cable attaches to the lever. Still under warranty so talking to dealer tomorrow.
Always thought it was a rather flimsy device. Moulded plastic doesn't really seem appropriate. Anyone, perhaps even the factory, thought of replacing it with a metal item? I'm aware I'm not the first person to have this problem. Equally aware of the need for proper adjustment - which I leave to the dealer.
Just glad it didn't happen at MOG 13 or afterwards in France. Would have been a pity to miss 1000 miles of top down motoring.
