Thank you suzublu, but I'm still not sure how to find and solve the cause of the fault.
When you say "When you pull the lever" I guess you mean the safety-catch release lever which should appear through the grille below the bonnet, but doesn't?
If so, it certainly sounds like there should be a spring somewhere to make it pop out when the bonnet opener is pulled and that this has snapped or fallen off, but at present I still don't know:
1. what it looks like, (what shape or how big it is) or
2. where it fits,
...so is this something I could make from wire?
Any ideas (including picture or drawing) very much appreciated please!
Thanks again
