Default Boonet wont open!

Hi.

I went to check the levels this evening -and the bonnet won't budge. With half an hour wasted, whilst I had my arm up through the lower grille we ascertained that the cable seems to be functioning as normal -but the bonnet just wont pop up -cant even (gently) lever it up.

So -is there any other way of getting the bonnet catch to release? Please?
