Try pushing the bonnet down as someone else pulls the lever in the car

Your method worked for me, Al, when I had a similar problem, but I had to push down and pull up on the bonnet alternately until eventually sprang up properly.
The cable is dead easy to adjust, as I found from the guide on here.....

  Make sure there is grease around the catch as well as they sometimes get dry from cleaning

Having spent an hour yesterday trying to start mine, loads of obscure/random codes, only to remeber that I had unplugged both dash connections in the passenger footwell :-[
