The bonnet release cable breaking is a common problem in the Ford BA Falcon, and if done incorrectly removing or replacing it can result in having to replace the fuse block as well. It is best to have this done by a qualified mechanic.
Reach up from under car hold cable and push toward bonnet catch
jack the car up and remove the fan unit then you can get your hand up to where the lock is located and you should be able to push the little catch on the left hand side of the lock this will then open your bonnet i had to do this the other day
It will cost you a few hunderd quid to get this sorted by renault... or get some handy person to get the bonnet open, and using a cable tie connected to the passenger side bonnet release, connect said cable tie, and let the end poke out from the bonnet. This then becomes your new bonnet release. Any eagle eyed person with the knowledge will be able to open your bonnet from the outside. So do be wary of this solution. But it only costs a few pence for a cable tie vs a few hunderd quid from reno.
get a pair of long nose pliers, to the left of the bonnet lock (as you look at it) is the bonney cable, insert the pliers through the grill to get hold of the cable and push it to your right, towards the lock and the bonnet should pop. the just release the catch and it should open.
AnswerThe Bonnet is called the Hood in the U.S. Pull the lever inside the car, on drivers side. Then release the hood (bonnet) with the lever located in the front grille.If the level is slack - it points to a snapped bonnet release cable.To open the bonnet in this situation (on a Fiat Punto), you'll need to get under the car.I jacked up the car, placed it on a stand on the passenger side, and reached up underneath. I've videoed it - quick to do once you see it.http://bit.ly/Yh1dQ9TAG: Fiat Punto, Bonnet Cable, Snapped Bonnet Cable

The bonnet catch is in the foot well on the passenger side near the door but high up. Pull it to release the catch then put your fingers between the gap of the slightly open bonnet lid in the middle. You will find a small plate that needs to pushed up ton release the lid.
The hood release cable snakes into the cabin of the car through the firewall. To replace the cable remove the old wire. Zip tie the new cable to the old one and pull it out. This will easily snake the new cable into place. Install the new cable on the release and lever.
remove the left hand headlight it just pulls out and pull the cable from there if you still got some attached ok
