Opening bonnet without cable wire

[PETE SMITH]

Hi all,
Just banding this question about as my cable release wire\'s gone and the bonnet\'s shut!
Geff-REWORX-is getting me a new one, but in case there are problems opening the bonnet, have any of you fella\'s managed to open it another way?!
Not panicking, but obv. need those regular oil/water checks done!Thanks
Pete

this happened to me, its a nightmare.   Luckily i had a gap between my bonnet and bumper. I managed to ge a small screw driver in the gap and pop the catch.  I have closed the gap so if it happens again i\'m buggered.
good luck

Right done a search on the US sites & seems there\'s a theory based upon coat hanger & prising bonnet up stuff, now i\'m not going to be able to do much with bonnet as the bumper is currently sitting slightly above it so it\'s going to be a mission at best.....
But if i can get in can anyone confirm which bit on this pikky i need to be aiming at hooking? (pikky from when front end was off so maybe slightly off where it should be but as i say just wana know which bit to try & pull in which direction incase the yanks are the other way round in anyway.....?
