Has the plastic bit broken and come off the handle? (in the car)

If so, just pull the end of the cable.

Oh...thought it would be the lever end because both me and my dad have V/S40's.

Both of our cars have the plasic bit on the cable snapped. (Basically means it comes off the catch sometimes and you have to just pull the end of the cable.)

Guess if it has come off the other end then you'll have to jack the front up, unsrew the tray and prod around with a long screwdriver. I haven't had to do this myself though.
