Hi all!!

I've got a 2001 A4 2.5 TDi Quattro. This week the driver's side headlight and sidelight have blown. As I've tried to release the bonnet to change them, I've noticed there is not tension in the lever, so the cable has obviously snapped. Is there another way of getting access to under the bonnet, or am I going to have to take it in the the garage?

Cheers,
Ben.

Cheers for the reply - I've removed the plastic asing around the lever and tried pulling the cable with no joy, so I'm assuming the cable is snappped at the front. I'll attempt your needle nose pliers idea, otherwise its off to the garage!

Thanks for your help!
