Video tutorial

If you have a forklift as shown in the video, it can be useful to use it to support the bonnet and facilitate the removal process; otherwise, get someone to help hold it once the supports are removed. The first step is to disconnect the support struts accessed through a cap on the wheel arch, inside the boot.

At this point, remove the parcel shelf and unscrew the hinge mounting bolts: the bonnet is now free, and if possible, disconnect the wiring; otherwise, cut as shown in the video. Next, remove the push-fit clips that secure the inner trim; complete by removing the struts, wiring, and lock.
