Bonnet not releasing

Recommended Posts

Bonnet is only releasing on the passenger side.

 

Any advice on best way to get the driver side open?

 

Thanks in advance

My trick for this (and it's convoluted) but it's worked as mine doesn't release on the passenger side properly at the moment..

 

Open drivers door. Hook the buckle for the seatbelt on the driver side over the bonnet release catch and pull it forward. Pull the top part of the seatbelt up so it's out and above the door / roof line - it will just about reach. Keep it pulled tight so that the bonnet release lever is pulled all the way back, then slam / shut the door trapping the seatbelt this way. Then you should be able to walk round and unlatch the bonnet... push down on the side that won't open and it should spring up and you should be able to open it.

If that doesn't work get two set of pliers, grip the bonnet cable with one pair and the oversheath with the other. Pull the cable and push the oversheath. Hope that makes sense
