Scroll down to the bottom. Last option is your solution.

Not as scary as it seems.

I would recommend using a large bung for the rear of the spare wheel well and rigging up a piece of wire for in case of future failure

Hi

If you move the lever towards the side it will go past its normal stop rest.

This is what you need to do with lever to get just a bit more travel that can sometimes pull the cable enough open the bonnet. You pull the lever over so that it can go past its normal stop.http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/v...1199&aid=86372

Other than that you can cut the bonnet handle to release the lock.

I always fit a secondary cable release under the mudguard.
