Ok, let's start with the name calling. Idiot, w*nker, moron.

Ok. We've had the bonnet off my L322 and when we refitted it we shut it properly before it was really aligned, now one catch won't release. The nearside one gave up it's grip when 2 of us lifted and pushed from the side> The offside one is a different matter. Nothing we do will make it release.
Is it a case of breaking the grille or is there another route.
Please help, my son has spent several days replacing the timing chains and so on. The car sounds fantastic it's a such a shame.

Fiddly job but breaking the grill turned out well in my case as replacement grills from gentlemenofsalvage.co.uk have them from £25 and quick delivery. Good luck!
