Got your fingers under the front and gave it a pull? I fecked mine so just pulled the cable through the grill and opend it that way, got a new one now though

his is already like that!!!

good squirt with WD/penetrating fluid under the edge of the bonnet where the catch is, try pulling the cable whilst pulling the bonnet up, yer spring might have stuck.

take the grill off and try pulling the cable yourself if it wont budge, find the catch and try moving it yourself..

Mine froze the other day, wouldn't budge when I pulled it, worked fine after a short drive so engine must have defrosted it.

I replaced it not long ago because the old one took stupid effort to pull - cable was all kinked and chewed.

[timtheenchanteruk]
