Default Fieast Bonnect Wont Open (60 plate)

i went to open the bonnet from the inside and the catch was just loose and never popped the bonnet open. is there any other ways i can get it open and what would cause this to happen ?

Regards Darren

Try pulling on the cable from the inside?
Could be latch sticking or cable stretched, should be warranty with it being under 3 years old

The handle inside can often come loose from it fixing point, so when you pull the handle it doesn't act as a level to pull the cable correctly. Check that the level is attached properly to the bottom on the dash
