Plastic release lever is held by two 8mm bolts and the cable is held by a screw,very simple to swap.Scrappy will be a good place to find one or the wanted section.
If it's at the bonnet end that the cable has failed things are a little more difficult!
If you peer through the grille,just to the right of the centre kidney(as you are looking at the front of the car)you can see the lock,insert a large flatbladed screwdriver and twist to release.
You can now remove the l/h grille section and also the bonnet lock.
Once again,a s/h replacement will be OK.
