If the cable is still alive get some mole grips on it.

As said .. if you can get to some part of the cable .. mole grips .. and get someone to sit on the front of the bonet while you pull .. this takes some of the strain off the system.

I had same prob. on '97 CD and used mole grips whilst another repeatedley banged his fist against the bonnet in the middle at the front. Good Luck
