Hi everyone,
After pulling the bonnet cable in the foot well of the car the bonnetm will not spring to it's first stop point to allow me to get my fingers under it when pulling the release cable in the grill.
Any ideas how to get this to the first position.
The cable did make the release sound but I think the spring is solid.

Re: Bonnet won't open after pulling cable
Worked a treat.
the spring was stuck in the compressed position.
A screwdriver to pull it out and lots of grease.
Five or six releases later, it does as it should.
