QUESTION: It is a Jaguar XJ6 four door - 1974

Answer
Hi Ron,
First have someone push down hard on the rear corners of the hood while you pull on the hood release. If the cables are broken or disconnected you can take a long heavy screwdriver in under the wheel well and locate the plugs just below the two latches and pry on the trip lever to release each one.
