Cannot open the bonnet

[lessteaks]

Hi all,

My car's a 1984 500 SEC, W126

I've had it off the road for a while and need to replace the battery, problem is the bonnet will not open! When I pull the release in the car the driver side pops up fine but the passenger side doesn't budge. I've tried push/ pull etc. while someone else pulls the release but to no avail.

Any ideas, I'm desperate! Seems such a simple thing but its driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance,

Les
