if its a corsa b, you need to remove the grill, use a flat head to lift up the coil looking thing where the catch is. lift it so one of the windings is sitting on the bodywork the flick it down quickly. doing a few times should snap open the bonnet no probs. had to do it on my last corsa about 20times.

or just remove the grill and get ur hand on the latch where the cable usually goes and pull it back. got to do this with mine because the bonnet wont pop properly so have to lift and open at the same time
