Can’t release the bonnet

My bonnet release has decided not to open the bonnet. I can only release it by getting my lovely assistant to hold the release lever up while I push down on the front of the bonnet whereupon it pops up onto the safety catch.

I guess there’s an adjustment but if so it’s one for the dealership since the car is only five months old.

Sounds like you have found another heritage feature carried over from the TDCi!

Already sorted two minor issues myself in the first month, but dealer will be doing this one.

Thankfully nothing serious yet…….

Loving the car though! It’s an awesome beast and gets lots of admiring comments.
