What happens when you pull the leaver in the car ? Could it just be a case of the latch playing up try getting someone to put pressure down or pull up slightly to realise the catch then pull leaver under bonnet

Get someone to push down where bonnet latch is then pull the lever a few times

Sometimes a good tug up on the bonnet while someone is pulling the release lever does it.

If they are welding you arches you will need to disconnect the battery ..
Is that under the bonnet?

You could try un bolting the bonnet pull inside the car.
You need to take the plastic kick pannel off and then theres two screws holding it to the inner pannel.
It might just stretch the cable out enough to free the cable up when you pull the handle.
Orher than that. Take front bumper off and see if you can get your hand up to release it with a screwdriver.

I had a spare front grill.. So when the cable snapped on mine I just cut a chunk out of the front grill and released it. Shocked
Probably not the best way - but quick and easy..
