The (external) bonnet release tab on my son's Fiesta has dislodged itself and has fallen in behind the plastic grill. Anyone know how I can get the bonnet open to get at the tab and put it back in place|?

Cheers

Use a metal coat hanger bent to shape to pull the spring loaded bonnet lever.

Thanks. I'll give it a try when he visits at the weekend.
