Pull the grill off and pull the cable by hand?
Might mean a new grill though

The bracket that holds the bonnet pull cable may have become loose. I dont know if there is enough room on an astra to get your hand up and tighten it. Can you hear the cable moving when you pull the release lever? Is there any tension on the lever?
