There is a bonnet release lever right near the kick panel....Reach under and you should be able to feel it. If not stick your head under there and take a look.

was that LPG i saw then?

Love the esky PV's..nearly bought a Mk11 as my first car back in 86, ended up with a corolla van instead, no regrets but still got a soft spot for the eskys..
