Broken hood release cable

1998 Jaguar XJ8 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 70000 miles

Hi, I have a 1998 XJ8, the passenger side hood release cable broke. This would be a much easier fix if I could open the hood and get at the problem. Is there another way to open the hood ? Thanks

this is a tricky repair and is best left to a dealer or damage can occur !
