Bonnet Release Cable connects the cabin-mounted release lever to the bonnet latch as part of the bonnet locking mechanism.

Pulling the interior lever places the cable's inner wire under tension and trips the latch, releasing the bonnet to the safety-catch position. The outer sheath is anchored at each end to hold the cable routing between the bulkhead and the latch.

Frequently asked questions

What does the ALR9556 bonnet release cable do?

The ALR9556 bonnet release cable connects the cabin release lever to the bonnet latch on Land Rover Defender. Pulling the interior lever tensions the inner wire and trips the latch, releasing the bonnet to its safety-catch position. The outer sheath anchors at each end to hold the routing.

Why does the bonnet release cable fail?

Bonnet release cables typically fail when the inner wire corrodes, frays or seizes in the outer sheath, or stretches so the latch no longer trips. A common symptom is the lever pulling with little resistance or the bonnet not releasing. This cable suits the pre-Puma Defender, 1987-2006.

Does this bonnet cable fit all Defenders?

No. The ALR9556 fits the pre-Puma Land Rover Defender, 1987-2006. The later 2007-onward Puma Defender uses a different bonnet release setup, so check your vehicle is pre-Puma before ordering. The cable routes between the bulkhead lever and the bonnet latch.

Is fitting the bonnet release cable a DIY job?

Fitting the bonnet release cable is typically a DIY job, though routing it between the bulkhead and latch can be fiddly. The outer sheath anchors at each end and the inner wire clips to the lever and latch. Getting the bonnet open first is essential if the old cable has snapped.
