hi,

my fiat punto 54 plate bonnet is not opening, the cable is not snapped i believe i still feel the wire attached but when lifting the red lever nothing is happening?

any idea.


thanks
 
Very strange, so has it 'popped'? Can you not flick the lever under the bonnet to open it? If it isn't closing / opening but has popped after pulling the interior handle then there must be something blocking the catch at the front of the bonnet :confused:
Not being very helpful here, sorry :(
 
i dont believe the cable has snapped i still feel abit of tension in the cable.
the red lever is flappy, i try to push down onto the bonnet to close it no luck...

im just wondering can it be opened from under the car.

it did feel like the cable was very tight
 
Cable was snapped to close to the latch unable to reach it now. under the car

Only way was the smash the grill :(
 
Mine snapped,push the outer cable toward the catch,from under car,as the outer cable is attached to the moving part of the catch mechanism,and the inner is fixed to solid body.
 
I have the same problem, tried both having someone push down on the bonnet whilst pulling the lever and pushing the cable into the catch from underneath but still no luck... Please help me

fixed mines,

only way to do it - break the front bonnet grill. use a cutter near the bonnet latch and bend the metal back.

that is the only way....
but the cuts in the body work can be covered again with a new grill.
