Bonnet stuck

(1/1)

ep90:
The bonnet is stuck on my 300 Tdi, the bonnet release lever is very stiff.  Is there another way to get the bonnet open?

Cheers

Hightower:
To get mine open when it got 'stuck' I had SWMBO pull the lever while I pushed down on the bonnet itself.  This relieved the pressure on the latch and hey presto, open bonnet.

Range Rover Blues:
Common problem if your car is too damn reliable.  Plenty of grease and use it a few times once open.  You may have to riggle it up and down to get it open though.  try not to dent your bonnet!

ep90:
...or break the bonnet release handle  :oops:

I did that as well.  Needed to resort to pair of mole grips on the end of the cable.  Worked a treat tho'
