My mate's got the same problem with his 1.2 trip.

Most likely thing is that the cable has come away from the handle - pop the handle off and get in there with a pair of needle-nosed pliers or similair and try pull the cable.

Alternatively take off the kick panel and it'll be behind it I'd think.

my old one used to do this, when i pulled the handle it would click but the bonnet would not raise, so you push on the opening handle and just pull it up the way forcefully.
