    Try to open the bonnet and wiggle it around a bit. Then pull the latch again, then wiggle, then latch and eventually it might open

    You can open the bonnet from the underneath if you can jack it up and get it on axle stands. Had to do it with ours when the bonnet cable came adrift.

    That's it.

    Wouldn't worry about posting the info on a public forum. The kind of scum that steal cars are already aware of all the tricks.

    Hi Ben,
    I also have problems opening the bonnet of my Punto; grateful if you would PM instructions to release the bonnet. The cable has come loose.

    Regards
    Anthony
