Have you opened it before with that key? Do you have a spare key you could try?

[winterheating]

have you tried a new key yet

[mylo rooney]

not got a spare key,i can only get a key cut on monday now,thanks for replies,but il keep trying it.

[sc_BK]

Have you tried taking off the grille? Are you sure it isn't frozen?

The key should go about 1/4 turn anti clockwise to release the bonnet about 2cm then turn it clockwise whilst lifting the bonnet

[mylo rooney]

had the bonnet open lots of times,its not frozen,not had the grill off ,does it clipp off on sides,its a 2003 connect

STILL NO BLUDDY LUCK GETTING BONNET OPEN..................

turn the key upside down if its worn they work better one way than the other

[winterheating]

or just get a new key cut
