hold the leaver in the car and get sumbody to thump the front of the bonnet and it should pop up.
Just pull the cable ****ing hard and it should open
....or come off the handle lol
Its possible to get to it from underneath but you need to be quite flexible

i have this problem all the time too and now the lever is starting to break, takes 2 people to open the bonnet of a nova unless your really clever like me and wedge something under the lever then walk round and pop it lol
