Cant open bonnet Help needed

(1/2) > >>

mk5craig:
Hi all, finally get an hour to have a look over the car, tried to pop the bonnet and seems the cable has broken :fighting: and then tried taking the wheels off and find i dont have the locking wheel nut when i brought the car so not very sucessful,

Any help would be great as i had a look and you cant see much, tried pulling the plastic lever under the bonnet but does nothing

thanks craig

the plastic lever under the bonnet can wear against the metal.

If the bonnet pops after pulling the lever in the car, then you just need to pull the bonnet latch/hook sideways.

mk5craig:
Thanks for your response,  nothing happens at all when pulling the catch

parks:
Tug the bonnet up, maybe it's not 'locked' down?

mk5craig:
All Sorted, took the plastic panel off that goes around the lever and the cable had pulled out of guide so put inguide and was very stiff but managed to get it open so sprayed half a can of wd40 over it so hopefully be ok now
Thanks for your help
