I've been pulling the bonnet release rather than the boot since I've had my ZT, due to giving it a full service in short bursts, so at the shops and in a hurry yesterday I pulled the wrong lever and popped the bonnet.
The bonnet didn't want to shut again, so being in a hurry I just smeared a bit of grease over the latches and gave it a good few pushes until it locked. After a quick search here, I've just gone out and checked the lever, and sure enough it is slack, with just a slight clicking coming from the right hand side under the bonnet where the cables split.
So could someone be kind enough to pm me how to get around this, as my new synergy 2 should be turning up tomorrow. Great timing! Thanks -Dan.
