I too have just spent an hour or so bouncing on my bonnet!

Can someone PM me the instructions?

Cheers,

Tim

Hello everyone.

Again, another call for help. Bonnet cables intact but unable to open. Done the usually bonnet 'bounce' thing but to no avail. Left hand catch releases but problem with the right. Any advice gratefully received.

Regards to all,

John

Hi to all , very peculiar today. Just left the house , no probs. Suddenly a very strange 'rattling' niose coming from front drivers side of the engine. Engine seemed unaffected, no loss of power , no warning lights etc.. Got to where i was going and tried to pop the bonnet , ..no release ?
I think the cable may have snapped for some reason and that is what i can hear sort of flapping about inside the engine bay. Obviously not a safe thing to be happening. I did read about a way to open the bonnet in emergency, but appreciate the 'open' security issue...can anyone help me out ....thanks

I heartly recommend the simple bonnet pull mod advised on this site before you have to go down this route!
