if you remove the r/h side panel see if you can see the back of the seat catch. the lever is secured by a 6mm nut if you can get to the nut the lever should come of + the seat should lift up. also have you tried giving the seat a good bang from the side whilst holding down the lever. you might need two people to do this. one to hold down the lever + one to bang the seat + apply some lifting pressure from the seat base
