Welcome to the forum - bit too far for me... Did the seller not demonstrate how to open the bonnet/check oil that sort of thing? For security reasons - it's best not to tell how to open the bonnet on open forum. Hopefully someone near you will get in touch.

It may just need a really good tug, it's not like a modern cable, but is a solid rod. Once you have taken up the slack, you then need to pull hard. If that doesn;t work, then it sounds like you have a good offer from beero.
