Bonnet Wont Open!

[Nova2k7]

Any ideas?? help lol pull the leaver and nothing!

Fairly common problem. The catch needs lubricating (not wd40).

From memory get someone to open the bonnet whilst you pulling the lever.

Yep, get someone to gently push down on the bonnet as you pull the cable then spray the catch with PTFE.

I did mine by just pulling out the kidney grill (really easy, no force required, just pull it gently down and then out) and spraying the mechanism with the bonnet down. After a minute to soak in it all worked and has been fine since
