Have you tried getting someone to try lifting the bonnet when you pull the lever?
CABLE SNAPPED!
How to open the Bonnet Without smashing the GRILL
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.
explain more dave.
