The N/S bonnet latch will not release. From the forum I understand that there is a wire for each side but that's about it for me. How do I get the bonnet open?

Does it help leaning on the bonnet whilst someone pulls the release?

I'll have a look at mine this evening. If I can get it open without losing a finger ...
The drivers side latch is connected to the release cable, so if you get some long pliers or a screw driver, you could probably reach it from the bottom. That'll pop both sides so you can get in.
[edit: Never mind, I see RR have done things differently to everyone else. Pliers through the release catch hole maybe?]

Thanks all, a bit of pushing the bonnet down and almost snapping the release leaver finally managed to release the latch. Next weekend is now planned out!
