The cables stretched by the sounds of it.Disconnect the cable from the bonnet pull lever in the cabin and pull on the cable with a pair of pliers or grips.If its snapped its a bit more difficult.Get a long screw driver and reach up and push the catch from the underside of the bumper.
When you replace the cable run it along the top of the suspension tower.Common problem with single turbo conversions,the cable get super hot and stretches.Could heat shrowd the new one.Happened twice to me..

Sorted now, it was the easier version of events where the bonnet catch in the cabin had the cable loose, the one attached to the bonnet release was still active thus used pliers to pull and hey presto finally open

Thanks for replies peeps appreciated :god
