today at work a customer dropped there megane off because he said he couldnt open the bonnet... so i thought ok, shouldnt take that long.
got the car into the workshop, and went to see if the bonnet would open, and it did straight away, tried it a few times and it worked fine all the time..
went to the workshop control person, it works fine nothing wrong with it, he went theres a plastic handle on the passengers seat that he said snapped off when he was trying to open the bonnet and i had a look at it and it was the steering wheel height adjuster  the bloke was trying to open his bonnet with the steering wheel height adjuster

Being fair if he's come from a Ford, this is similar to what he would have been using on that.
Old Fiesta/Escort have a big orange handle underneath the steering column. At least he's discovered a feature of the Megane that he didn't know he had though

Girl at work had to ask me why her screen had stopped washing itself when she pressed the wash button. Didn't even know that cars had a washer bottle and fluid
Told her what to do, she came back half an hour later and said she couldn't work out how to open the bonnet
