Please help - bonnet stuck

Last Friday (08.03.2012) done bonnet release mod> rotated the shuttle 180 degrees and replace it, because I read here on forum that this mod is recommended for every 75 owner to do straight away before the cable nipples pop out. I bought the car in august 2010 and since that bonnet worked very fine (no problem with it at all) but today I tried to open bonnet to fill water for windscreen and now I'm unable to open it from inside the car

If you have already done the mod, worth checking that the cable has not freed itself from its housing at the back of the pull inside the car, that happened to me and was an easy fix to pop it back in and secure with a tie grip
