put your hand through the hole under the bumper and bent the cover covering the lock mechanism out of the way. Then get a pair of pliers and pull on the cable!
BTW the mkI and MKII cables/locks are different

I know on a Mk1 you can actually reach up under the bumper and feel for the bonnet release. If I remember correctly you should be able to push the lever, that the cable is linked, to by hand. Can`t remember with it pushes up or down. But I had to do this when my cable snapped. It is a bit fiddly and you need to be almost double jointed .
Regards,
Ian.
