cant open front bonnet (hood) on 2000 S

My front bonnet had becoming harder and harder to close until one day when I closed it, it sounded different and then I could no longer open it. When I pulled on the hand lever there was virtually no resistance and the bonnet did not rise at all.

I finally managed to get it open thanks to another posting, by getting my wife to hold up the lever and carefully prising up the bonnet using a plastic spoon as a lever between the bonnet and front bumper.

Once I had it open again I discovered that the moving parts had become stiff and as a result one end of the spring which lifts the bonnet had come free.

I then followed the very useful instructions provided by Viper501 in his posting of 6 July 2005 which completely solved the problem.

So if you have this problem check out this posting. Obviously this is a problem for Boxsters of this vintage as well.
