Just firm up an down movement of bonnet directly above where latch is should be all that is required while you pull the cable end with a decent set of pliers, preferable locking type like vice-grips, if that dont unlatch it nothing gonna. Not sure how grill is fastened in disco, but in rangie classic you can, with a bit of fiddling get the grill of with the bonnet closed by using a medium screwdriver into the cleats and work them till the plastic barbs of the grill release, maybe disco the same, not sure.
 
helo Alfresco ,that seems the only way so far.
My mate and i have tryed everthing but that .
I will get it some how , it needs shocks and discs and bushes for the MOT,and ABS leads and that just the front .
The joys of life ! Ive give up and going on the drink
