Just a note had a difficulty opening the bonnet today on my vito.
the releace catch was full off dried grease !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
removed the old "clag" with brake cleaner (spray type) then put fresh oil on it and worked it back and forward.
Moved the catch a couple mil to the right looking at engine from road leaning in engine bay.
Job sorted.
it took alot of banging and cursing to get the stuck bonnet open
so this is hopefull a little job to stop it happening to anybody else .
