Bonnet Won't Open!

[Beef-Mc]

Typical, the day before I drive 400 hundred miles the bonnet wont open.

Can hear it clicking or whatevfer it does but it won't open.

Tried to pushing pulling on the bonnet whilst the old man kept it open but nothing.

Any idea's?

open passenger door,pull handle while banging on the corner of the bonnet next to the windscreen with the ball of your hand not enough to dent but firm,you should see the front of the bonnet come up slightly then open it as normal,worked on mine!

the second catch will be jammed need to get bang the bonnet at the catch area

Tried all that, not a thing happening.

Is it possible to reach upto the bonnet area if I remove the splashguard?

Only a 1.2 so theres quite a bit of space!

Got it open, splashgaurd off, reach up with a large screwdriver, bend the metal bit down then pop it open with said large screw driver.

Bit of copper grease and WD40 on the watch and all is well again.
