Has anyone successfully popped the passenger side bonnet latch on a W211 E55 when the lever no longer works?

Passenger side latch works, have tried pulling the cable manually from behind the drivers headlight but no luck - potentially snapped? Cant seem to get access from below on the passenger side
 
This happened on mine once when the cable was not put back properly, but in my case im sure it was the drivers side, that was accessed from below but a few bits needed removing to get to the cable.

It it the latch or has the cable slipped out?
 
Unsure tbh. There doesnt feel like a lot of tension from the cable when i pull it from the drivers side so assuming maybe cable has snapped or something. Either that or the latch is absolutly solid.
 
probably cable unlatched itself best to get it somewhere with a ramp, still a PITA though
