Managed to get it open and it works ok now. Cables look in g.c. and it's all lubed up. The plastic splitter box isn't very robust, but refitted with ties replaced on input cable and securing it to the wing (is there an improved design?). Worryingly the bonnet lever pulls almost to the top before triggering the bonnet catch - is this usual? It was like that before, but I'm a bit more dubious about it now!
I can't see any adjustment (or easy way of creating some) so I may try a new cable idc and hope the inner cable is shorter relative to the sleeve length so triggers sooner.
Thanks for the advice.
