Can’t open the bonnet

[Tinonline]

Hi

Following the breakage of my aux bonnet release catch under the grill I now can’t open the bonnet. So the cabin release works ok but I can’t unhook it.

Any ideas?

Panic slightly over...lifted the rod firmly with bonnet ajar which undid the spring loaded hook.

Had a better view of the unit and the screws and end bots are rusted together so removal of the unit will destroy it - shred the plastic.

Some good news at least.  How did you get on in Brighton btw?

Hi 😁

Was postponed and weather etc permitting I’ll be in on Wednesday. I must add I’m an essential worker and need the car to get to work and have worried about travelling at all...
