Hi guys,
i went to open the hood today. i pulled the lever in the footwell as normal and the hood latch was released. by this i mean the little lever in the grill popped out as normal. however when i pulled on the latch it didn't release the hood. now i can't get the hood open.
The front bumper is off and i can get my hands behind the grill, i can feel the latch moving, but it doesn't release the hood, the hood hasn't even popped up a little. Is there anything i can do? is there anyway i can open the hood?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link but it didn't help. I can get to the grill lever and it pulls out fully, it just doesn't release the hood.
Any other ideas?
Cheers.

thanks for the idea, i have tried that but there is no movement in the hood at all.
I have removed the front grill to give me better access, but no go at all.
