IIRC it is remove the passenger side inner wheelarch then employ a small monkey/marsupial to reach in and release the locks .

It's probably broke at the join that sits near the wing line of the bonnet. I'd order both cables. V8 or else ... |

Mine snapped at the pull handle. I managed to get mole grips on the end of the cable and pull it.

When mine snapped I removed the drivers side wheel, pulled the plastic inner guard cover off, reached up to the drivers side front corner between the air ducting and grabbed the cable , pulled and it opened |

Ok, removed the passenger side inner wheel arch, but no access to the bonnet release?

Well we found it has snapped at the handle, but can’t see the remains in the hole to pull |

Worth a try putting some hefty mole grips (or similar gripping/crushing tool) further up the cable to see if you can squash the outer cable and grab the inner in the process, then pull.
