Help bonnet/hood release mechanism not working
 

Please help.... my 1998 Grand Voyajer hood (bonnet here in the uk) release does not seem work. The lever lifts, but there is no resistence. Could be the cable disconnected or broken, assuming I cant fix it at the release lever end how else can I get the mechanism to release the bonnet?

Answers on a postcaed - thnks ever so much in advance.....
