Bonnet/hood stuck on passenger side
W204 Saloon. When I pull the red bonnet release lever the bonnet lifts slightly.
It doesn't raise the full way, but you can squeeze your hand in and reach the latch under the bonnet but when you pull it and try to lift the bonnet it seems stuck on the passengers side somewhere.
I wasn't sure if it was stuck to the grille somehow or if maybe there's a second latch that isn't opening.
Any ideas? It's a Sunday and Bank holiday Monday so I can't get it to a garage until tuesday (and I'm at work) and I'm taking it to MSL Thursday for suspension and exhaust work so need it to be working 100% for them to do their magic.
Edit: UK Car so passenger side is driver's side to you guys.
- Apologies for reposting in a few different sections but I'm crapping myself that my car is ****ed for some reason!
