Ahem, I don't suppose someone would mind PM'ing me with the recommended procedure on how to open the bonnet when the pull doesn't work?

All sorted now - thanks PSL184.
Taking an angle grinder to it was a bit extreme I thought, but it seemed to work ok.
(only joking....)

I'm glad you found a large enough sledge hammer though :o :lol:

Last year I was in such a hurry to get the convertible together for its first MOT in over ten years that I forgot to put the split pin in the bonnet release rod (DOH! :evil: ) :roll: :x

Of course the MOT man needed to lift the bonnet see the chassis plate!
