00 1.25 - Cannot open bonnet - dav3m
Hi - the handle/leaver underneath the steering wheel of my Ford Fiesta (2000, W, 5dr, 1.25zetec) has stopped opening the bonnet of my car. It seems the wire is still attached but it is not opening up.

Can someone suggest how I can open the bonnet without using the leaver?

Get someone to gently press down on the front of the bonnet while you pull on the handle to take any pressure off the latching mechanism. Once bonnet is open, adjust the cable to take up any free play.
