I bought a 1999 GT3 mk1 this February. The engine lid release cable is stucked causing the latch can not be closed. I have to manually push the latch into position to be able to close and lock the lid. I have replace the cable twice now. The 2nd time the shop fund the plastic pipe which protecting the metal cable was melted in the engine compartment portion. So the cable can not be restored to its location. The shop put heat protection padding around the cable for the last fix. However, the release cable is still stucked. Anyone as the same problem?

PS. GT3 is only used for my weekend track driving. About 100miles per drive.
