Bonnet wont open!
In case you havent read it mentioned on another post, my bonnet ("hood", for you yanks) wont open. I need to check levels and get to my other fusebox asap. I pull the lever and nothing, no "pop". The wire is still attached and does move when the lever is pulled. I noticed it looks like a brake cable from a bike, which stretch over time. Is that whats happened?
So, I searched and found nothing. How on earth do you get into the bonnet when it wont open? Im sure the answer to the question of what has happened will sort what needs doing once the bonnet is open, however, I need to get into it first.
Please help! I need to get into that bonnet tonight, if not, in the morning.

In fact LR even has their own can of white lithium grease. I forget the part number, but of course what is "Recommended" is the LR grease but any will really be fine. I picked up a can at the dealer a few months ago but forget how much it was. I remember it was ridiculous but not that outrageous, under $15. I figured "what the hell" since a can will pretty much last forever. I was really surprised to find the dealer actually uses it, well mine at least, instead of just some other less expensive brand.
I know I'm an idiot and it's not any better than any other decent one but sometimes it's just fun to take a trip on the short bus.

Ok guys, tried it and nothing. Im hitting the bonnet as hard as possible without damaging it and still nothing moving.
Any other ideas? Can I get to the latch any other way?
Getting really frustrating now.

Also, if you hold the latch under the hoodand shake it might come loose, I know mine gets hung up sometimes, but I can always get it open. KEEP TRYING!
