Right. I managed to remove the chrome-coloured grill surround, got a screwdriver in, and flicked the latch. Turns out I had somehow moved the lever past the latch and it I had to bring it back. Anyway it’s fixed.

Hi, does anyone have experience with this? The bonnet is releasing from the pull inside the cabin and pops up. I can feel the lever under the bonnet and move it from left to right, but nothing happens. I wonder if it is snapped or just not making contact? The car isn’t running - suspect battery connection or something worse - so moving it isn’t easy, and I can’t get my head under it. From underneath I can reach up and touch the top of the fan but no further. If anyone has any tips, pictures or anything, I’d be hugely appreciative. It’s a diesel 57 plate Octavia, but it is the Mark I body.
