Can any kind soul tell me how I can free up/open the bonnet,on a Bravo T reg.I can operate the safety catch (just),by squeezing my finger between the plastic grill and the bonnet,but that don't help.The bonnet is still locked.
If I could get the plastic grill off,it might help access.

Any help appreciated.
 
Do you pull on the bonnet release under the steering wheel, in the drivers foot well?

Thanks for interest gents.Yes,I pull the the catch under the dash,but the bonnet don't pop.I can just about release the bonnet safety catch via forcing the front plastic grill,but this obviously don't release the bonnet catch.I guess the cables rusted/jammed,but access to it is the problem.

Cheers Lads.
 
on my bravo you have to pull the orange lever down then towards you, simply pulling it towards you dont work:(
 
Get someone to press down (with the flats of their hands) on the front of the bonnet while you pull the lever. If the cable is OK, this usually works!
 
Mine was stuck solid! It took a lot of swearing and a long flat screwdiver between the bonnet/grille and the bumper pushing against the lock to persuade it to open. I also had someone pushing the bonnet down!

Don't push to hard or you will leave a handprint - it is a Fiat bonnet after all!

Once you get it open make sure that you put plenty of grease (water resistant stuff only, some greases are good at trapping water) on the lock mechanism to stop it siezing again.
