How to open zetec bonnet with a broken pull lever
From the bottom. Few times have I seen it broke at the latch. Reach up and cut the cable in half( as far as you can away from the latch). Then cut a couple inches of the cable sheathing of at the latch side. expose the cable, then pull the cable to open. If it did break at the latch, then you'll need a long pick(right angle or hook). You'll have to reach up in the latch to grab the arm to release the bonnet.
Where will i find the engine number

WHAT ARE FORD ZETEC CAMBELT REPLACEMENT INTERVALS
60.000 miles/ 100.000 kilometres is the standard interval
it reduces for high speed engine work, dusty conditions and oil leaks
If there is oil mist/ dust evident on the cover, it is best to replace the belt, oil seals ,hydraulic adjuster and idler pulleys as the oily dust indicates a leak that will quickly destroy a timing belt
Oil leak top back engine near side
Use paper towel or tissue. If not degraded (too old) it will be pink color For Automatic transmission. Brown to almost clear if recent oil change. Dark brown if Standard transmission. But if it's top, most likely Engine oil. Check for drips on the floor too.
Coolant loss
Do a cooling system pressure check.
Check spark plugs for water.
Do an engine compression check.
All in the above order.

that all newer cars have this key off feature.

the owners users guide in the glove box covers this.
titled, power off accessory delay feature. 10 to 30 minutes mostnewer cars have this A FEATURE.
if inside car see this delay timer end, open driver door power off delay ends. (proof it is this)'
this feature prevents draining car battery dead and now stranded with hug towing bill.
I can see all there in totality, to just be sure.....
or is this. (if it loses time on clocks)
