Yeah i been scanning threw the hood latch section and i can see it is an issue. It's the very first problem of my new (to me)1999 V70 turbo that i thought i could fix... The previous owner sold me the car less then a few days ago & dam it hasn't gone very well..

To make this short, the release handle was already broken, the PO had been popping the hood with pliers... Of course i tried that and the cable broke even more, now i can't even find anything left of the cable down by the release to use pliers on... The good thing is the left side of the hood popped open, bad news is the drivers side of the hood is still fully latched...

I have already tried to release it manually & i can feel it (even with my big arms), i just not quite sure which leaver i need to pull on, to pop it open. So it would be extremely helpful if someone my have a snapshot of a picture of the drivers side hood latch... Thanks
