I had the same problem with mine when i got it,i just lubricated the spring and catch with grease and not had a problem since............
there is also a cable adjuster under the bonnet too, undo the screw pull the cable tight and do up the screw worked for me
Had the similar a few weeks ago, but couldn't open it at all at first , took me around 30 mins , by pulling lever then pushing and pulling on bonnet until finally popped it, greased catch in slam panel and all around catch on bonnet itself, in fact anything I could see relating to the catch got greased, now it's good as gold.
Cheers Pete
My bonnet release is quite slack is this preferable I wonder? ............... :ranger;
once you have open the bonnet you will see the cable with a black braket on it, which hooks into the slam panel and at the bottom of it is a self tapper screw
As Glynn says, loosen this screw, slide the outer slightly tauter and tighten the screw - no more issues.
