The catch on the drivers side bonnet is jammed shut, any clues anyone please. Have tried pushing, pulling banging on it, swearing and cursing to no avail.

Yes, lol.

Try undoing one or both of the bonnet hinges from underneath and wiggling (being careful to support the weight of the bonnet!).

Hi there, it was the catch on the passenger side that would'nt release for me. I just closed the bonnet, pressed down on it a few times, released it again and hey presto it opened normaly!
