im assuming gas door lol yes there should be an emergency pull cable in the trunk area/ itll be a plasttic piece attatched to a cable itll say fuel door on it.

If you can see the cable get plier and pull.With your fingers you can.t do nothing

hi,
If the cable is snapped in your car, then get underneath the car.Try to reach the catch and flip it manually.If you are unable to reach it with bare hands, a bent metal hanger would help to do it.Now,open the bonnet. You can reach the parts in bonnet now. If you are uncomfortable or unable to do it, please call a "Repair person" in the nearest locality to help you.Have a nice day.Please rate my solution as helpful.

I also have the same problem with a 2007 ford focus. I have been informed that it is a common problem and that the barrel needs to be changed. I believe it is necessary to open the bonnet by trying to remove the panel/ covers from under the front bumper. I managed to get the panel off by removing about 8 screws but I was still unable to open the bonnet.
If you have any luck, would you please respond.

usually only 1 fails however only 1 will not hold it up. its also a good idea to replace both. most of these can be found at any autoparts store.

Try having someone hold the lever to open it, then you go to the front and try prying the hood (bonnet?) up with your fingers.  You may have to give a slight push down first.
If that doesn't work, you try 'bopping' the hood near the front edge with the side of your closed fist, also with someone holding the lever to open the hood.  ...not enough to dent it, tho.
Once it is open, lube the latch assembly with some sae 30 oil.  If it is rusted, lube it with WD-40, and after a few days of opening it up several times a day, lube it with the 30-wt. oil.
Good luck!

look at it,scratch bum and light a *** puff on same whilst you survey situation.Then go down cafe for coffee .come back and get a big screwdriver and grovel under engine compartment removing belly plate.Find the torch ??then do into town for new batterys and another coffee ,come back talk to another customer for half hour then lay under car and shine torch up and flick lever back so bonnet opens and remove the spanner you left under bonnet last time .Refit belly plate take car for a test drive and go to cafe again for a pincho of tortilla and another coffee.charge customer for a days work.
