You are such a sweetheart Mick for lending a hand like you do, you're always willing to go that extra mile to help others in their time of need. I'm sure your sis-in-law greatly appreciates what you've done for her. 👍🙂 Even in my time of illness you went above and beyond to ensure everyone knew I wasn't feeling well. 🤣😡🤣 Nice job Tim, Rob and Tim 👍
Mine just gone im sure the heat had something to do with it hopefully when we get back to normal weather it contracts and works again but what a palava to sort it out well done i haven't got patience for stuff like that. What where Ford thinking designing this torture contraption madness nothing wrong with the old normal lever system crazy probably cost a lot more to design as well
many thanks for the guide. top tip, if you press down on bonnet before turning key left, it reduces wear on the X shaped white key that goes into the lock mechanism and hopefully it'll last a bit longer before failing again. cheers
Just done mine and it was pretty easy thx to your guide..my lock was sticking so I had to destroy and replace it for nothing. I would undo the 2 10mm bolts holding the lock from underneath next time😢 we live and learn..😅
Great job. Here in America, we have a hood release lever next to the kick panel under the dash that you pull to open the bonnet. I've never seen a blue oval pivot and contain a lock. Probably more secure than on this side of the pond. Back in the day, our car makers put a pivoting emblem over the trunk (rear bonnet?) lock. No electric release. A real pain on an icy Michigan morning...
@@themowerman I was told when I was very young help someone on your way through life and your living will not be in vain I am 74 now and still doing it the feel good factor is like a medicine ..
Good job Mick, I've done 4 of these for friends & family on various Ford models .You can get a replacement white plastic plus bit that fails & keep the original key but a new lock & barrel is note a bad shout for what it costs.
If you don't care about the grill or have a spare from scrap yard.. I just grabbed the grill and snapped it off to get access then I just used a long screwdriver to open the mechanism. I'm due MOT tomorrow so I'm fixing it today with an aftermarket one.
@@lionelsnitchie4539 hi.. this one should be the correct one.. Bonnet Lock for Focus MK2, KASturbo Bonnet Release Lock Latch Repair Kit with 2 Keys 2004-2012 1343577 amzn.eu/d/coc1lM0
That's a new one for me. Over here we have a a cable driven bonnet release from inside of the car. Is that because your drivers side is on the right? Interesting and nice job!

Hi George.. yeah my old boos had a Chevy.. and I remember the foot peddle..
A man of many talents! Cheers Mate!
Thanks ken
I was wondering if you could fix it for me as i have same problem on my ford focus
Sorry I can't..
Tidy job Mick. Well. Explained and easy to follow. Catch you in the next one buddy.
Thanks mate e
Thanks Mick managed to make a temporary key using a straightened paint roller while i wait for the part.
Fantastic.. yeah that's what I had to do
Excellent explanation. This is the best video on you tube. Aqui é do Brasil estou com o mesmo problema. Obrigado
Thanks
Brilliant episodes i really appreciate your genuine hard work
Thanks mate. I appreciate it

Yeah mate it's a common problem.. I have see an aluminium one.. but it's expensive
That is the first time I have seen a bonnet lock that needs a key. I am used to the pull lever in the car.
Yeah ford have done them for a while now
Super job Mick always good to look after family 👍👍👍👍
Ta Alan mate
My bonnet is currently stuck locked because the lock has failed,but how do you get into the bonnet to replace it please?
You will need to make a tool like I did.. I used a drill paint mixer.. and turned it in to a flat head screwdriver..
If you don't care about the grill or have a spare from scrap yard.. I just grabbed the grill and snapped it off to get access then I just used a long screwdriver to open the mechanism. I'm due MOT tomorrow so I'm fixing it today with an aftermarket one.
One happy sister and law,well done Mick great fix
Thanks Nev.. your sticker and bottle opener arrived today.. a lovely surprise
Nice fix Mick I no they can be a pain lol hope you and all family are doing ok
Where did you buy the new lock from
@@gtijay6052 Amazon mate
Hi mick I have a focus I put some oil in 2 top off lock
Yeah I'm going to do the same.. the problem is it's all plastic.. if they did an aluminium one oy would be sorted
Nice one mick I love the videos always do
Thanks mate
Glad to help Mick 👍
Hi mick, smashing video thanks. Is it possibly get a link to the parts you used please?
Hi.. some are different.. so just go on Amazon and look up the parts and look in the listing see if it fits your age and model that's what I did
Sharing the love !nicely done mick!
Yo yo hi Joe
Mick the car fixer man strikes again. Good one mate (Buddy). I'll be doing the same on a Ford Ranger Bonnet (hood)
Cool mate
nice quick and simple fix Mick and your welcome
Thanks mate and thanks for the gift..
Done mine today thanks mick
Your welcome mate..
Any chance you can send a link to the parts on Amazon?
I will try and find.. but it is difficult for what model you may have
Thanks for the reply Mick🙏 Mines a 2005 mk2 Ford focus

To the left to the left open up the bonnet to the left lol great video mate 🪛 🇬🇧
Lol thanks mate
@@themowerman lol your welcome 🙂
Thumbs up mick i bet me chell is over the moon now
Yeah mate well happy
What's that other part called the part from Amazon, not the long lock n release part. I might as well buy that part too if it's only £7
The bonnet catch mechanism?
Great repair. Wondering why the first step wasn’t to a locksmith to have the lock cylinder changed to operate with the original key.
Hi John.. it came with a new key.. so no point
Brilliant video Mr Mick, a little job I’ve got to do 👍👍👍
Fantastic.. good luck
Happy as Larry .Good fix .
Morning cupcake
Your a diamond Mick 👍
Thanks mate
Whar size is the replacement bonnet release?
What do you mean
@@themowerman the size lock mechanism you replaced for the Ford focus. I've seen one amazon which 25cm. Would you say that is the correct one to buy?
@@readyplayer2759 I will try and find the one I ordered
It's all good, I've done it now. Took about 20 minutes. Changed the barrel and the latch.
Thank for your time.
@@readyplayer2759 no worries glad you have it working

Proper Job that brother
Thanks mate
Good tip about testing it with the screwdriver before you shut the bonnet
Thanks mate
Thank you 👍👍👍👍
Your welcome
Great job mate.... Is the wired connection only a sensor to show if the hood is locked, or is it for unlocking from a push button inside the car?
Sensor to tell you it's open I believe mate.. thanks for watching
@@themowerman ah very good.
Nice job Mick
Thanks mate
Brilliant
Your welcome
Nice quick fix 👍🏻
Thanks mate
Great job mate
