sound like ya just need the catch on ya bonnet adjusting if ya had it before, so the spring aint so tight

do as 'born' says and get someone to press bonnet while you work the lever

well i don't think theres much resistance in the lever. can't be sure i'm describing it right to you though. If it helps at all i've had this problem before, but never for this long. normally if i push the bonnet up and down and then go back in the car and try again it works, but not this time!!! haven't tried 2 man method ever though.

most likely the cable has snapped or more likely come loose at the clip next to teh bonnet

now u got a problem trying to get in

u got a standard front bumper on or wot?

mite have to jack up front end - then go in up past the radiator to the bonnet release catch to pop the bonnet

before ya do that - make sure the cable is still attached to the lever inside the car

um, the lever feels wierd like. Normally u feel a bit of tension, i'd say it feels free yer. No the car won't turn at all, no light or anything - i'm sure that just the battery lose connection cos i didnt do them up very tight earlier.

when was last time ya opened bonnet

wot happens when ya try to start the car - does it turn - or wot?

wot happens when ya try to open bonnet?

the lever feel free or is there some resistance?

I really need some help on this, my car is parked in a quite dodgy area, with the front speakers on clear show. i'm a little bit worried bout my car to say the least!

HEELLLLLLP!!!!

rite my car wouldnt start. Lose connection i'm guessing. So i tried opening the bonnet but it wouldn't open. Tried for about 20mins with no luck. What the hell is going on? anybody else experienced this, how can i open it? HELP!!
