Thanks for reply folks, tug wouldn't budge it so used car trim plastic removal tools and it popped off.
Thought I'd broke it a thin piece of plastic fell out-but different colour and not from cover or part of vent.
Looks as if previous owner devised his own anti theft/loss solution by using the piece of plastic at bottom of cover which makes it almost impossible to lift up and over top lugs.Refit without piece plastic cover goes on/off easy as you advised.
