    The bonnet release cable has either broken or come detached and as a result the bonnet is stuck shut. I’ve read that you can access the catch through the grille badge hole. But! How do I remove the badge from the outside?

    Should be able to work the release lever with a screwdriver.

    Thanks both, done it. Much simpler with a torch and decent size screwdriver. Didn’t need to remove the badge. All working properly now
