It hinges the wrong way, the hinge is at the front of the bonnet
passenger side under glove box there is a pull lever, this will release your bonnet.
you pull the bonnet release in car then under bonnet there is black button thingy you pull out and lift bonnet. hope this helps
If you want to get the bonnet open when the catch has broken and the is no cable to get hold of the Renault Grand Espace; use the screwdriver to PUSH the catch from right to left.
Open the passenger door and look up to the left in the footwell. Here you will see the release lever. Pull it backwards then go to the front of the vehicle and slip your fingers underneath the partly released bonnet feeling for a small lever. When you find it push it up and lift the bonnet open.
If its the same as my 2005 model, there is a small lever just under the glove box. Pull this out then go round to the front and have a look just below the bonnet in the grill just left of centre should see a black plastic tab approx 1inch wide pull that out you should now be able to open your bonnet. If you cannot see the tab push your bonnet down firmly and repeat the process
Get somebody to push on the bonnet whilst you are trying to pull lever. This should do the trick then lubricate all moving parts of the catch mechanism.
It's in the passenger footwell top left hand side below the glove box
It will cost you a few hunderd quid to get this sorted by renault... or get some handy person to get the bonnet open, and using a cable tie connected to the passenger side bonnet release, connect said cable tie, and let the end poke out from the bonnet. This then becomes your new bonnet release. Any eagle eyed person with the knowledge will be able to open your bonnet from the outside. So do be wary of this solution. But it only costs a few pence for a cable tie vs a few hunderd quid from reno.

There may be an open bonnet. The bonnet may not have been closed properly, as can happen.
