Opening Bonnet With Catch Broken?

Hi,

Is there any way of getting into the bonnet without breaking anything with the bonnet catch broken on the D4?

RAC man here trying to look at flat battery issue, but cable must have broken when tried to open bonnet (had it up a little earlier).

Seems to be connected at the lever end, but no resistance, so assume it has snapped / pulled away somewhere under the bonnet.

Local garage says there is a good chance they will have to break the grill to get to it?

PM me if with any sensitive suggestions!

Thanks

Many thanks, from one Dean to another!

I'll pass that along to the RAC guy who is still trying hard, but I think we are going to struggle....

2 today ! is it dying batteries, low coolant warning or needing to top-up the screenwash that's helping owners discover their bonnet won't open ?
