Do (did) you have a cat ?Yeah so pull lever in drivers footwell, bonnet pops up as normal.
Go to bonnet, push up the lever underneath to the left hand side. The bonnet then lifts about another inch, clear the catch fine but then stops, not a dead stop it’s like it’s crushing up against something it’s very strange.

Nothing stuck under it at the windscreen end?
Sounds like a gas strut to me, not had it on my GTS but have experienced similar symptoms on the rear hatchback before.
could a strut have become loose and out of alignment perhaps - good luckTo me it doesn’t feel seized as there’s movement on the bonnet, could be wrong though.
Next part is how to get the bloody bonnet open now lol
