If the cable to open the bonnet on a Skoda Octavia is broken, you may need to access the release mechanism directly. One way to do this is by locating the release lever or latch underneath the dashboard on the driver's side, near the footwell. You can use a tool such as a long screwdriver to carefully manipulate the latch and release the bonnet. It is important to exercise caution and precision to avoid damaging any components while attempting to open the bonnet without the cable.
If you want to get the bonnet open when the catch has broken and the is no cable to get hold of the Renault Grand Espace; use the screwdriver to PUSH the catch from right to left.
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.

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.
To open the locked bonnet, or hood on a 1999 BMW 525 TDS, pull on the release handle inside the vehicle on the driver's side. The hood might be indicated as open if the cable is broken or stretched.
You can do this buy removing the plastic front radiator grill. You need to remove indicator lights, then the middle screw, then with a small flat screw driver release the plastic clips just underneath the bonnet. Then put your hand behind the bonnet catch and pull the broken cable or the latch and it will open. Good luck
