Default Bonnet Release - Help

Hi all,

I've done a search on this, maybe not very thorough, but can't find the right answers. So need help please

The bonnet release lever in the car won't pop the bonnet.

Does anyone know of another way to do this?

There was a topic about this last week, shouldn't be too far down in the list



Try gently pushing down on the bonnet where the catch lives while pulling the lever, that might release it

Then dismantle the catch and clean thorougly and grease it all up nicely, should see you through another couple of years.
