Hi Nick,
Get a long thin screwdriver and place it between the bonnet and the bonnet lock panel right in the centre of the bonnet and move it to the drivers side of the car.
The bonnet should pop open.
I hope this makes sense. If not phone me and i will explain.

Thanks Ace.
Had to lever the hood up, then gave the screwdriver a hit and up it popped.
Now have to find a hood release cable.
Thans again for your help.

Hi Nick,
You should be able to get a replacement at any Holden dealer under part No. 3426525 for about $35. Where abouts are you? If you're in the Canberra area, I have 2 of these in stock.

Cheers,

Graham.
