Is there a second/back up way to open bonnet on Ford Fiesta Ghia?

The lever in front left foot well area to pop the bonnet isn't working The point at which it usually clicks and opens the bonnet isn't happening; the lever is going beyond that point without popping the hood. It worked fine earlier and I keep trying but it isn't working now. Its like it isn't lined up properly anymore. I need to top up my oil but can't get it open and am going on a long journey tomorrow. Any suggestions or another way to pop the hood?

First thing to try is get someone to push down on the front of the bonnet while you pull the lever. Unless the cable has snapped, that should work.

Once open if that does work make sure you oil the catch as it is binding causing the cable to stretch.

It wasn't closed fully last time (just to point out, that was a mechanic who closed it last earlier today!) but the little thing you pull (don't know the technical term) to lift the bonnet had gone in. Thanks, friend pushing down on bonnet did the trick.
