Want this question answered?
left hand side of passenger footwell
call a mechanic
get a pair of long nose pliers, to the left of the bonnet lock (as you look at it) is the bonney cable, insert the pliers through the grill to get hold of the cable and push it to your right, towards the lock and the bonnet should pop. the just release the catch and it should open.
Reach up from under car hold cable and push toward bonnet catch
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.
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.
pull the corde from near your pedals
as you look at the front of the car with the bonnet open ... look down the rear of the grill on the right hand side ... the cap tells you
Its a steel cable
Got the same problem. Anyone got the answer
Sometimes the plastic coupling breaks, the coupling links the cable from the key barrel to the actual locking latch mechanism. Applying pressure to the coupling (pushing the cable towards and into the latch mechanism) and turning the key can open the bonnet if this is the reason why the bonnet is jammed.
AnswerThe Bonnet is called the Hood in the U.S. Pull the lever inside the car, on drivers side. Then release the hood (bonnet) with the lever located in the front grille.If the level is slack - it points to a snapped bonnet release cable.To open the bonnet in this situation (on a Fiat Punto), you'll need to get under the car.I jacked up the car, placed it on a stand on the passenger side, and reached up underneath. I've videoed it - quick to do once you see it.http://bit.ly/Yh1dQ9TAG: Fiat Punto, Bonnet Cable, Snapped Bonnet Cable
