I did a service on my mates focus early this year
Got it up on stands, dropped the oil, proceded to open the bonnet and **** yep wouldnt open.
Was a right faff to get the bonnet open. He was shitting bricks about not being able to get it open because he wasnt driving anywhere with no oil in his car
Eventualy got it open by ripping the grill out and some very very fiddly and bent hands trickery.
In the end it was a plastc clip that broke but on the plus side it was only a few quid from ford, still a shit design tho.
