I tried that Ryan....I can't get it to budge... It was always REALLY hard to pull out WITH the handle on it!

Anything else?

have someone press down on the bonnet(hood) at the front just above the landrover letters whilst you pull the bonnet release with your pliers.

change the engine oil for a thinner viscosity

get a new battery, livving with temperatures as low as you do, your local garage should have the right type of battery to cope

if you cant get the bonnet open then i suggest asking your local friendly independent.

over here in the uk, its simply call the AA, if you want to stand up and confess thats ok, but not necessery
AA (automobile association)
