If it was a 306 i'd say BFH to the grille and tear it open.
It's an Astra though.
Set fire to it?

smash the grille mate. the tab snapped on my old astra G cabby, smashed the grille and a bit of force on the cable got it open. do you have any idea where your cable has snapped?
and yeah, 2000 would be a MK4/astra G

Erm... Thread revival, because im bored lol... Well cause im such an awesome mechanic(read theif...) I managed to get the bonnet open about 2minutes before I was gonna do as you said popeye lol turns out it hadn't snapped, just the end worked its way off the lever and touch wood *gigidy* its stayed on since. Well I haven't had any calls saying its stopped working again

Probably over use. End of the day, it is a vauxhall so it spends more time with the bonnet open than closed!
