R56 Bonnet stuck

[21TonyK]

My own fault (again). Bonnect is stuck latched down, cable pulls (and pulls to the point I could pull it out) suspect its broken.

I can see the drivers side latch from underneath and according to YT i can get to it but the PAX side looks impossible.

Anyone ever managed this?

Can you get someone to operate the catch while someone else gets aggressive with the bonnet

[21TonyK]

Yeah, tried that. The bonnet barely moves anyway but the cable now pulls freely, no tension at all.

I’m not sure if you can get at the catch from underneath- we have one in the carpark at work, I’ll see if I can have a look. I’ve never known one to snap a cable, usually the catch seizes.
