IE:1980 300D 123 Gem on strike

It may be a broken cable. It may be the quick shoestring fix done in the rest stop when the plastic secondary hood release broke off sending me flat on my southbound.

My problem is that I pulled the release in the interior, the hood made the usual chunk sound. When I scurried outside to pull on my shoestring, the hood was shut tight, entrance was denied.

My question is how do I get to the primary hood release so that I may release my hood primairly.

Promises Promises:
I would fix the potentially broken release cable, the totally discharged battery (it does that occasionally just to keep me in confusion), or even feed my hands to the radiator as a true shadetree mechanic, so that my 300d auxillary fan would sound like a Cessna taking off. I mention this as proof positive I did read 367 other queries attempting to avoid the embarrassment of admitting the car has temporarily defeated me.

Your careful consideration is appreciated as I can annoy more neighbors with symphony of diesel than I can as a yard ornament.
Thank you
