Happened to me last weekend. Get under there with a torch and 'work' out the mechanism by poking with a screw driver etc.

If I remember rightly, you want to push on a little flange on one of the left hand hoooks forward sharply to pop the hood. Then when it open just give it a real good spray with some WD40 and operate it by hand loads...That freed up mine  :smiley:
