R26 Bonnet won't open

Discussion in 'Exterior & Bodywork' started by Triple J Motorsport, May 11, 2014.

  1. Pulled handle felt like it opened as normal but didn't.

    Handle and cable now move freely no resistance and the bonnet remains shut.

    I tried spraying wD40 onto the area via the straw and hammering it with my fist to try and shock/shake it into operation but remains shut.

    Assume me I need to remove one of the grills? Or is there something else I should try?

    cheers
     
  2. Try pushing and pulling the bonnet while some1 pulls the lever
     
  3. Levering the grills is favourite, there is a junction box for interior part of the cable and the bonnet part that can come apart......if you've been messing around that area, it's about 4 inches to the right of center when looking at the car but unfortunately can't be accessed until the bonnet is open so you'll have to go in through the vent.....been there and done it :mad:
     
  4. Cheers we tried that nothing
     
  5. Cheers what's the best way to get the right grill out?
     
  6. Lever out gently from the bottom first, ideally with a trim removal tool.
     
  7. i had exact same thing happen to me. sorry i can't help as I'm lazy and gave it to my mech!
