Try pushing the bonnet down as someone else pulls the lever in the car

Your method worked for me, Al, when I had a similar problem, but I had to push down and pull up on the bonnet alternately until eventually sprang up properly.
The cable is dead easy to adjust, as I found from the guide on here.....

  Make sure there is grease around the catch as well as they sometimes get dry from cleaning

Shouldn't laugh... Much :D

Having spent an hour yesterday trying to start mine, loads of obscure/random codes, only to remeber that I had unplugged both dash connections in the passenger footwell :-[
