Default S8 Hood latch seized?
Hi All,
My hood has stopped opening with only the (UK) passenger side latch releasing when I pull on the release lever.
I have now removed wheel arch liner and can pull on both cables after the splitter box - both pull tight but still the drivers side latch won't release, apparently this latch is seized.
Please let me know how I can get this latch open without damaging my hood.

Thanks for any help you can offer,
