Anyone any ideas about how to get the bonnet open on a mk3 fiesta???

The catch is broke somewhere as when u pull the handle under the steerin column it doesnt pop it at the front....

The lights r missin from the car so is there anyway of playin with the catch in behind that area???

Either try to get your hand into the latch via the headlights or get underneath the front of the car and reach up and pull the latch

is it just that the latch may be stuck? Try pulling the leaver while someone else lifts the bonet up.

Happened with my girls clio.

The cable should be attached to a small lever or something at the actual latch under the bonnet. Try and pull whatever the cable is attached to by hand, or prise it with a screwdriver. That'll pop the bonnet, then it'll open as normal
