I think my bonnet cable may have snapped or detached from the catch as I cannot get it open.

Is there any way that I can get into it (... to get my power steering pump fixed!!) without having to 'pop' the catch as it will cost a fortune for a new one with it being electronic!!

The last time I had to buy one it cost £50!!!

Thanks peeps

Is there any resistance when you pull the lever? If there is it may just be a sticky catch, and if you get someone to pull the lever while you're pushing and pulling on the bonnet it should pop up.
