I am having this problem with one front catch on a 2009 +4, the has resulted in the front catch knob snapping off, any idea how to open the bonnet with a snapped off knob?
Hi,
If push comes to shove.. Protect wings, take the front wheel off, take the couple of nuts holding the receiver catch in place and gently lift bonnet.
On my car the Whitworth nuts on the bonnet catch must be fitted with the “flats” parallel to the sliding catch otherwise very awkward opening.
Hope this helps.
