Pop! Goes the Bonnet Lock
Just snapped the connection between the bonnet lever inside the coupé and the wire that pulls the lock open. Trying to pull the wire with a pair of pliers – but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Try getting someone to press down lightly on the bonnet to release some of the pressure at the same time.

How do I repair it afterwards? Do I need to replace the whole shebang?

Replace all the cables, clean and lube the catches and lock pins. Also if you havnt already do the splitter box modification and fill it with grease, you should be able to open the bonnet trouble free for years then.
