On my 2.0 corsa

I have tried pulling the cable instead of the lever - didn't work

I have also tried to reach my hand through the grille but there isn't a big enough gap (GSI bumper)

Anyone any ideas????

Sorted it now

Finally managed to get it open by pushing/pulling the bonnet slightly to one side. The reason I was having problems is because when I took my bonnet off @ PVS to go on the 1/4 mile I kinda rushed when putting it back on Could tell that the mounts were in the wrong place from the paint marks from when it was originally sprayed. Tried it a couple of times after re alining it & its fine


I still blame women though
