Bumped the car in a ditch the other day only going 5k/h. No damanage and been driving fine for the past few days.

However I can't get the bonnet open, something is catching it from the inside. It nearlly opens.

Any ideas? I really should be checking the oil.

an idea is to give it a hard pull
if that does not work, well, then start from one end of the bonnet and see if you can lift it up. when you cant lift up have a look around that area to see if it is caught around that area.
hope that helps
cheers
