you have stretched the cable.you need to get under the front of the car and reach right up to manually pop the bonnet.
been a few threads on this and always punto's.

also try and put paragraphs on your posts as its hard on my old eyes

you will need to replace the cable unless its popped of the mechanism,more likely stretched or snapped.
i bet its been getting harder to pop lately?

do it yourself
this is what happens though,it gets harder to open and people keep using it till it pops then its 'oh bugger'
