How to release the bonnet ...

DiscoJoe · Jul 30, 2007

... from the outside of the vehicle?

For some reason the release catch in the passenger footwell has stopped working. It feels okay but the bonnet doesn't open when you pull it.

Anyone know how to get the bonnet open in this situation?

TIA

Cheers for the suggestions folks. BFandI won through (yet) again

~ course SWMBO firmly believes that it was the way she pulled the release catch that made all the difference ... and who am I to argue
