having tried to open the bonnet on My 260 I find the cable slack and the bonnet firmly shut.How do I open the bonnet and replace the apparently broken cable ???

You can get to the cable junction box via the headlight bulb access panel in the driver's side wheel arch Peter. A deftly wielded pair of pliers should then allow you to grab the twin cable inners having first flipped the junction box cover off. A sharp pull on the cables should provide sufficient force to pop the bonnet. Subsequent re-assembly of the junction box would be a good time to do the mod to prevent the same thing happening again. Well known problem with these cars

Having re-read what I've put above it all seems perfectly clear to me but that's from the standpoint of having done the job myself on more than one occasion. I hope I've made it sufficiently clear for you

Welcome to the forum btw
