    Hi all,

    Went to open the bonnet of our 307 tonight and despite pressing the release
    catch down with as much force as I would risk the bonnet just will not
    release.

    Any ideas of why this is happening ? Can this be resolved without a visit to
    a dealer ?

    Cheers,

    get somewone to pull the lever while you bang on the bonnet (not hard enuf
    to damage it though)

    Hi Ian, I experienced this, and it got worse as I tried to force it.
    Just remember that you dont pull the catch up towards you.
    It wants to rotate from 6 o clock to 4 o clock position as youre facing the
    car.
    Once you got the bastard open, clean and spray with WD40 etc.
