It will not open at all, ive tried pulling the cable from in the car as hard as I can as the handle has come out of the holder but I don't want to snap it!
Car is a corsa b if you didn't guess.
Without cutting the grill out or cutting the bonnet up how the hell can I get in?

Thanks for your time

get another person at the front and as you pull cable, get them to push down/ punch the front middle of bonnet should release

Edit: have to push down fairly hard

Even if the cable isn't doing anything what so ever this will still work?

I've had this problem and the shock of hitting it with the heel of your hand usually does the trick.
