Ideally you need something to help pull hard on the wire. Try gripping it with a pair of pliers and giving it a firm tug. Maybe partly wrapping it round a screwdriver will do. Hopefully you will hear that reassuring sound of the bonnet popping.
It depends on where the break happened. IF you can get to the cable at all the previous advice works. If it broke at the actual latch. Good luck. It will take lots of work. Sometimes you can get to it by removing the grill. I have an 84 full size blazer and it broke on me at the latch. I had to crawl underneath, remove the fan from the front of the motor, squeeze in between the motor and radiator....then with a flash light in my mouth and a friend pushing down on the hood, stick a small screwdriver into the lever that the cable used to connect to and manually push it. Lucky for me I had room. Otherwise you may have to remove the grill and drill out/ break the latch bolts so the hood will open with the latch still connected. Drove me CRAZY!

To open the bonnet of your Renault Scenic with a flat battery, you can use the manual release mechanism. Look for a small lever or a cable under the dashboard on the driver's side; pull it to release the bonnet latch. Once the latch is released, you may need to lift the bonnet slightly and push the secondary latch (usually located in the center of the grille) to fully open it. If you're unable to access the latch, consider using a thin tool or wire to reach and pull it from the front grille.
To open a broken Corsa bonnet catch, first, try to access the catch mechanism through the grille or underneath the car. You can use a flathead screwdriver to manipulate the latch if it's accessible.

If a wire in an electrical circuit snaps, the circuit becomes open, interrupting the flow of electricity. This can cause connected devices to lose power and stop functioning. Additionally, if the snapped wire is part of a high-voltage system, it could pose safety hazards, such as electrical arcing or fire risk, if not properly managed. It's essential to repair or replace the damaged wire to restore functionality and ensure safety.

If the lever wire for your Holden Astra's bonnet is broken, you can try accessing the latch directly. Use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to carefully pry open the grille or the area around the latch. Alternatively, you might be able to reach the latch mechanism from beneath the car, using a long tool to pull the latch release directly. If these methods don't work, consider seeking professional assistance or replacing the broken wire.
