HELP!! Hood won't open

Is there anyone out there in Jauguar Land that can help me?!?!?! I have a 2001 Jag XJ8 and the hood won't open!!! When I pull the latch, the passenger side pops up, but the driver side won't. I've taken it to 2 mechanics (as I only know how to put gas in it and be cute

) and they have NO clue what to do. PLEEEEEEEZE HELP!!

Identical issue, with multiple responses, posted here: http://tinyurl.com/ordfys
It does not look like a simple solution is at hand, but there it is! Good luck.

Look in the archives. You have two choices. Remove the hinges or drill a hole in the wheel well and use a screwdriver to pop open the latch. Each is a small PITA.
