Astra 2litre DTI estate Dec 02 Bonnet jammed

[BoilerBill]

Trying to open the bonnet on this b*g**r. When the handle is pulled just get a clunking noise from under the bonnet, but no movement and the front pull does not extend.

THe whole of the front end seems to be screened so access to the lock seems iffy that way.

Anybody any ideas of how to release?

TIA

Only suggestion I can think of is to get someone to press down slightly on the bonnet while you pull the handle. This could take the pressure off the catch and allow it to release the catch and then the person pressing on the bonnet hopefully will be able to lift it to the safety stop.
