found this on a quick trawl might help but sounds like you might have to cut the grill

wouldn't rate your chances going from under the car - that article says it's tough referring to a 2.0lt car and there's feck all space left with the big v8 in there.

Where has the cable broken? At the latch end or the lever? If the lever you may be able to cut away at the sheath and use a decent pair of molegrips on the bit thats left.
If the latch end it's going to be tricky.

ok, take it back.

From below is the way to go. I guess a helper navigating from the front of the car helps too.

Happend to mine while at Audi. The tech opened it by getting through the wheel arch If that helps

Looking at it there's definately a way to get to it from under... it looks like the latch moves from the passenger side to the drivers side.
Still a complate bastard though
