Hi all, this is probably something stupid but as someone who usually gets garages to fix everything im trying to learn to fix the MK1 myself.
I was out swapping my front bumper over last night, just got for the rain to stop to get the new one on but when i was poking about in the area of the front bumper i noticed that my latch which holds the front bonnet down has a broken spring so no resistance.
Can i buy a new spring from Halfords or do i need to get one from a scrapped car?
Ive taken a picture as i know i waffle on a bit so hopefully the pic clarifies what im looking for.
Thanks
Donna
Ive contacted a local scrappy who has a blue mk1 in, is there anything worth getting as spares whilst im there?
Thanks again

Ha ha not really, a friend said A local scrappy had two in so I nipped along and found the spring, at first I thought I needed the whole assembly but the spring came off so that was ideal, unfortunately due to the rain I have not managed to get the new bumped on
