bloody hate that feelin i get it loads

mine was bein a bitch a while ago too, just didnt release when i pulled the handle, so i done this.....
under the bonnet, just along from the catch in the crash bar thing (to the right)... theres a little screw and bracket thing holding the bonnet release cable cover, i unscrewed that abit, pulled the cable and cover through a little (away from the catch) and tightened it back up. then it worked fine again. dont know if it will work with yours. but its an idea lol.
