N nismotronic Guest Feb 18, 2007 #2 I find that if someone else pushes lightly up and down on the bonnet while pulling the lever it sometimes releases it. Either that or can you see any of the cable from inside the car maybe give it a bit of a pull with some pliers?

OP OP S stokefan Feb 18, 2007 #4 great! Cheers guys, got it it with a good yank up on the bonnet!! wonder why its sticking.
