Thanks for the advice.  I performed the "Bob Rossato two-man" proceedure an=
d was able to lift the hood.  After inspection of the cable assy. things lo=
oked fine.  Could it be the post/hold hardware that is causing it to stick?=
  Can it be adjusted?  I haven't opened the Bentley just yet but that will =
be my final step prior to putting the hood back down.  Thanks again guys.

  The new vw's require a more agressive maneuver, a drill and badge removal=
, wv's lock in the center only since 95 or so IMS.

  The S car is pretty simple if the cable hasn't snapped.  Make a hook out =
of a coat hanger, and go fishing for the cable that crosses under the hood.=
  Lift up on the rubber seal below the hood, the cable crosses about 4in ba=
ck from the front of the hood line.  Snag and pull...

  Any more questions on the procedure, Bob Pacifico is alumni cum laude; no=

  hood while you pull on the hood release.
