anyone had this problem? (ceased engine lid)

So I bought a kombi (61) and didn't ask to see the engine. Ha. I can't open the lid, it's ceased shut... any suggestions that might help me not break something?

🙁 sorry not I, but have a bump on me

if you can trace the prob to be the hinges
then soak them in oil , wd40, crc, anything.
rusty streaks will develop down the paintwork
then slowly work the hinges loose.

failing that post me a pic and perhaps (i aint seen the model)
...the pins can be knocked out like on a door of aroom.

OR is it the lock ?

Thanks Karmen,

I'll try a flood of wd40, but I think it's the snib. Like there's the hole you put the little gadget in to turn the snib..

I don't have the gadget but the guy said a screwdriver should work. (?)

The hole accepts what is called a chuch key
This is square and about 1 cm wide, a screw driver should work.
Look inside the hole so you know what size screwdriver to use. It turns to the right, clockwise

Cheers
Dave

if it don't work sell it to me

needs to be a screwdriver close to 1 cm wide.
The bigger the handle the better
spray in the hole too
post a pic of the beast 2 pls
