W211 - bonnet latch - HELP ?!

[IceBoy]

Hi Guys,

I'm not having a good time with my new E320cdi 53-reg.

Now the bonnet will not open.

When you pull the handle under the stearing wheel the left side(passenger) does not pop up.

I have tried pulling the handle and getting someone to move the bonnet up and down.

The slide out lever in the grill does not pop out although I can manual pick it out but again nothing.

What can I do? The car needs coolant as well!

HELP
