*Wallace* Â Â 333 #6 Posted September 3, 2015 You may be able to get a screw driver under the edge of bonnet to release the catch,sounds like the cable has broken or come loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bkcin   10 #8 Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) As a temporary work around you should be able to open it if you get someone to push down on the bonnet whilst you pull the release at the same time.  If you take the trim off near the bonnet release catch you can see if the cable has come off the mechanism, this image should show you (it happened to mine a while back)  http://i.imgur.com/CAevkN9.jpg Edited September 3, 2015 by bkcin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
