Hello,

So, my bonnet was intermittent but now, does not open when pulling the lever.

This is the kicker - the car will acknowledge the bonnet is open after pulling the lever, (will say BONNET OPEN when locking), and when I push the bonnet down, I hear a click.

What could this be?

When my bonnet release cable broke I was able to release the two latches from the outside. If I get time I’ll try to find my post on how I did it.

The switch is under the RH latch, so if that one is releasing, it will show as open even if the LH latch is still closed and the bonnet won't open. Sounds like your LH latch isn't releasing.

iirc, this is an annoying fix? I drive this car a lot. 4.5k miles in 4 months. My coolant needs topping ever so slightly. How can I open the bonnet?

This is how I got in

I had a problem where the cable had slipped so was moving the latch but not quite far enough. I was able to get a length of 5mm steel rod up from underneath onto the cone that was poking through and while someone else heaved on the release, I tapped the rod up with a hammer.

4.5k in 4 months? I'm going to have to keep an eye on my record. I took mine in for MoT at the end of August and noticed I'd only done 22k since the previous test. Previous years had been over 30k......
