My bonnet won't pop up when I pull the lever inside the car. If I get someone to hold the lever open I am able to lift the bonnet to open it. After futher inspection of the latch the cable is still attached but I noticed that one of the catch springs isn't attached or is missing. It's the larger of the 2 springs, not the one that the release cable is attached.
Would this larger spring missing cause the bonnet not to pop ? If so can the spring just be replaced or would it be easier just to change the catch.
I have attached pic of same latch showing the spring.

If there is a spring missing then you would assume that's the issue..
If you have a box of springs in the shed I'd try to fix it but price a whole latch up, they can be so cheap may not be worthwhile trying to source a spring that will fit
