if its snapped at the handle end, just reach up from under the front valance and give the cable a tug... thats how ive always done. the cable runs on the underside of the slam panel

 

might be a bit tricky if uve got a mi tho

think it has gone at the bonnet end, have pulled the cable interior end and it's started to pull through from the other side. :D

did you sort it yet?

 

mine did the same, and i crawled under it with a pair of pliers and reached up between the rad and the engine and felt for it by hand then used the pliers to pull it open.

 

surprised how easy it came away. i'd only want to do it once though.
