bonnet release
 

I cant get the bonnet release inside the car to work, i pull but nothing, anyone else had this problem, i dont wanna go back to the dealer just for that.

on the uk fiesta site i remeber readin something about people bit not popping out of the bonnet and they sugested getting some one to push on the bonnet so it pushes down a bit and it would pop out.

but personly i wouldnt do that as it might dent the bonnet i woudl take it back and say this shit isnt working

Yea, has happened to a few ppl on this forum... do as groov3 said above.... push LIGHTLY on the bonnet down...then try.... i took it to ford and thats what the service guy did.....so his fault if it buckled LOL... but its not

Its a terribly common problem with most fiesta owners including myself: Either it WONT open (took me and 3 mates about 20 mins to open it), or wont close (happened to me on my test drive, so I drove round with an open bonnet latch).

Get someone to push on the very very front of the bonnet (the stronger part that wont dint) and pull the latch. It should open then.

I've also heard of a case where someones damaged and dinted their bonnet from trying to either close or open it, and Ford had to pay for the bonnet repairs and subsequent respray. Its a bit of an issue..... Like the typhoon clutch was :lol:

Thanks guys......that worked a treat.

Yep my bonnet got fixed under warranty, (repair, repaint, new catch...) hope it doesn't happen again, but I will be keeping an eye on it, good luck with yours.

Cheers Mate ;) Should be all fine!

i tryed it and it didnt work :(

Take it back to ford rich. Jeeze what a stupid invention that bonnet latch. I guess the Germans were too busy acting sexy and poncing around to that "I see you baby" song to think about how to open the bonnet.....

Small hands and full of German Beer - your inventions would be rather odd too!

Dose Crazy Chermans!

I have never had a problem with my bonnet latch. Take it back to Ford, it should work right first time all the time. It is just not acceptable for things like this not to work. My 2 cents.
