Hi all, im in need of some help as the bonnet release catch is slack and cannot be opened!
I have just fitted an uprated intercooler and had to remove the whole front end, which included disconnecting the bonnet release cable.
Everything went back together pretty much spot on and so did the cable, but after stupidly closing the bonnet I cannot open it at all and this scares me lol. I dont need to open it but you never know what might happen!!!!
If anyone knows of a way to open without going to a garage and paying that would be amazing!
There is defo another thread on here where someone else did exactly the same thing except forgot to put the bonnet catch back on. I will try and find it

All sorted green flag managed to sort it. Much thanks to Roy for sending the pictures, for future reference if anyone else manages to do this if u take out the trim inside the drivers wheel arch u will be able to get to the cable and give it a pull there.

Tried that mate, didnt work unfortunately :'(' ' ' ' '
Riiiiiight then. Its all fixed now thanks to the thread saying to go through the drivers side wheel arch. Scraped my arm abit but worth it, cheers for the help everyone!
Sorry to wake this thread up again but i've got exactly the same problem! Removed headlight bracket including the bonnet cable clip, but then replaced everything as it was. Shut bonnet, a week later came to replace some headlight bulbs with xenons and bonnet wont open.
Removed bonnet release handle and drivers footwell trim and pulling on the cable doesn't work, neither does pushing on the bonnet while pulling it.
glad you got it sorted
