Bonnet cable snapped

[Skiny]

Was at the yard at the weekend sorting cars/parts out and the bonnet cable has snapped 😞 tried the usual pull it with pliers but no joy. 

Is there an easy way to open it folks ? 

2001 model

Get someone to push down on the bonnet at the catch area while you pull the cable.

I will try that tomorrow bud 🙂

Still no joy with this ffs 

Anyone know how I'm gonna get this opened  ?

Had the same happen, managed to pop it open by fiddling with a coat hanger from underneath.

Worst case smash the grill

Ended up having to break the grill ffs 😞 on the plus side the car has lay up from June 2018 and fired up 1st turn, slightly lumpy running so new plugs and fresh fuel later
