not sure but i think i read somewhere that if u get a long screwdriver you can pop the bonnet by getting underneath the car and popping the latch in the spring that holds the bonnet shut

yeah doors are locked, and i cant find the spring leaver that pops the bonnet up, i think its right ontop of the radiator so thats a no go, i can get ahold of the leaver that alows the bonnet to leift after its been popped but yeah, cant find the spring loaded leaver, any ideas on exactly where it is?

if you get under the car you should be able to reach up to your keys or get a little kid that can fit up between the radiator and motor and grab them good luck

if you cant find a kid to each your keys for you. It is possible to bend a metal coat hanger in a hook shape and feed it up near the front of the radiator so you can pull the bonnet release cable. Its a bitch of a job to do. i had to do this when the bonnet locked on me when I was replacing the whole cable.
