there should be a latch behind the grille, pull that to the right or left (cant remember) , then feel under the right hand side of the bonnet for a catch, push it inwards and pull the bonnet up >_<

in the centre of the grill theres normally a cut out stick your hand in, slide it to the right when you feel the catch, then it should pop open to the safety catch, then on the right hand side of the bonnet you push that catch and it should open.


damn beaten too it

Get some initiative mate. It's a very old mini, you will be needing to work some things out to fix/use them. :)

EDIT: sorry, read a lot harsher than I mean it. Don't take it as if I'm being a ******* :) I'm not.
