Ford Fiesta can't open engine compartment lid

Car: Ford Fiesta
Model Year: 2002

Categories: Engine & Drivetrain

My oil pressure light has come on. I want to open the engine lid so I can add some oil. Pulling on the link to open the lid has no effect. The cable could have broken or the lid has jammed.

What can I do to gain access?

Thanks Paul

You will have to get at lock from underneath or through grille to open mechanism by hand .

try getting someone to press down on the bonnet whilst you pull the lever then get them to pull up will probably wrk if the cable has not snapped
