    Hi Paul

    I have solved a few locked bonnets in my time but I cannot remember whether an Astra has been one of them.

    I know that one of my favourite methods is to make a hook from a wiper blade stainless steel strip (I keep loads of them as they are useful for sooo many things - small leaf springs, retaining clips etc).

    If you can fiddle it in to the latch area through an available or drilled orifice it may be possible to hook the catch and pull it open.

    Good luck!

    Regards,

    Steve
