could anyone tell me how to get my car bonnet open as the pullcord normally used isnt working i have a rover75?
is their an alternative way to open my bonnet
Had this problem on a Renault, but i believe they are mostly the same, try jacking the car up at the front and putting it on axle stands.
Look up from underneath the car between the radiator and the engine, you should see where the bonnet catch is and a lever, using a screw driver push this lever and hope fully it will pop your bonnet, once done have a replacement ready as you do not want a repeat performance, or you do not want to drive round with your bonnet on the latch.
Sounds like the cable may have snapped, you can sometimes put your arm up the front from underneath and trip it that way. On some cars you can put a wire thru the grill at one end, feed it along and hook it onto the mechanism and then pull it.
However, have you tried getting a friend to lean on the bonnet at the same time as you pul the lever and when you have fully pulled the lever getting your friend to get of the bonnet.
