Recently I opened hood in 2 cars (not Omega)
One of them had broken cable inside, so I just used pliers, it was easy.
Second one:
I removed plastic cover under radiator and could see lock with flashlight. I used screwdriver somehow.

Not doable on the Face Lifts, as the Bumper covers where you need to get to underneath and you cant remove the bumper without having the bonnet up due to the pins under the grill part.  ;)

The bonnet cable recently came detached on my DTi saloon, thankfully my mate managed to pop the bonnet from underneath while the car was on a 4 poster!  8)
