The bonnet of my 1998 V40 would not open as the release cable was broken. I took it to Marshall's in Cambridge who needed to remove the front bumper to access the release mechanism and then replaced the cable.

The cost for this inconvenient problem? £184.44 and that included the Marshall's 10% discount scheme. Ouch!

Be warned, check your cable and bonnet release mechanism regularly.
