    Sometimes a little push on the bonnet just above where the mechanism is, as someone else is pulling back the lever can pop the bonnet.

    lol yeah happend to me on a VL ended up killing the bonnet with a crowbar if theres no tension at all = cable snap , if there is a small bit of tension wire has stretched

    also where the lever is in the car find the cable its connected to get some plyers or multgrips n pull it as hard as u can while someone push's down on the bonnet.

    Yeah with my VS 50% of the time someone has to push down gently whilst I pull the lever to open it
    If your going to burn the aussie flag please do us a favour and wrap yourself in it first
