Can't Open Bonnet!!

[swindorski46]

Can anyone help me?!

I've pulled the release cable, I've pulled, pushed and hit the bonnet, all to no avail.

I'm going to take the grille off in a minute to see if I can get at it fom the inside.

Any advice or ideas would be very welcome!

Ta,

Joe.

You can get access to the catch no problem at all with the grill removed - it should then be pretty easy to get the bonnet open. The only problem you might have getting the grill off is getting to the screws at the top of the grill behind the bonnet lip. Good luck!

Unless you've fitted grill buttons then you aren't going to get your existing grill off without damaging it.

Maybe you can get to the release from underneath if you get the car on some axle stands or a ramp?

Make sure the bonnet hook hasn't snagged the loom (Dont tug at it!). Should be able to get your fingers in to feel.
