Any bright ideas ? (nb)

[AIDY]

Tried to fill the washer bottle up and check the oil on the wifes car (newish vauxhall astra) this morning. and the bonnet release cable has snapped S*** I cant open the bonnet now. tried to take the front grill out but thats fitter from inside. Any bright ideas how i can break in with out damaging the car. other than fishing around with a coat hanger.

TIA

Can you get to it from underneath?

An motor engineer got at mine once via the wheel arch beyond the lever site. It depends wher the break is of course.

praps you cd take the cable handle off in side the car - if the cables snapped at that point, just pullit with pliers. Jigger the bonnet aa bit first cos the mechanism may be a bit jammed - hence the cable snapped.

If its a newish car then it will be under the three year warranty. Pop into any Vauxhall dealer and they should sort it for you
