I am nearly 80 and dont know the first thing about cars. I bought some windscreenwiper fluid and dont know how to open the bonnet to fill it up. It is a Peugeot 104 (I think 1997)
Re: dont know how to open the bonnet on Peugeot 104
The lever to open the bonnet is not on driver side but on passenger side (depends on the model). From passernger side open the door and then look on the side-wall (where the door ends and foot-wall starts) underneath the dashboard/glove-box for a lever to open the bonnet.

Seriously, I would use an inspection camera to locate the cable that snapped and then grab it with a good pair of vise grips and pull the bejesus out of it. Or check out the latch mechanism and use a cost hanger to get in there and move open the pawl that holds bonnet in place.
First, check the fluid level is correct in the power steering fluid reservoir. It's under the bonnet on the left hand side at the top, mounted to the inside of the fender. If you fluid level is low, it wont work and you have a leak somewhere.
The bonnet latch should be near the drivers feet against the side wall and will be around 3 inches long. It's a long lever. If its not there, it will be on the passenger side wall under the dash.
It's not the transmission, because you wouldn't see the space that the transmission fluid fills, and it's doubtful that it's the brake fluid, the brakes will act up all the time (stop lights, etc) if that were the case, so it must be the powersteering fluid. If your car is sort of a pain to steer around corners, the slower you go, the harder it is to move the wheel to turn, and you hear a sort of whiney noise when you get into a deep turn, or are turning slowly, that would for sure be powersteering.
The washer pipe comming from the tank to the jets is probably folding over of touching something between the bonnet and the check the pipe is in place where it folds with the going up and down
there is a lever by the inside of the passenger door by the footwell pull this back to release the bonnet then stick ur finger under the bonnet to open the catch
the alarm control unit is fitted under the drivers seat can be accessed from the rear foot well by putting seat fully forward .unscrew the two nuts holding the cover the relays are inside the unit.
this unit interfaces will tell the fuel stop solenoid to release (by applying 12 volts)
the fuel stop solinoid is on the main diesel pump under the bonnet - the exac location on the pump will depend on the make - but it should be cylindrical and have one wire connected to it - (i dont think peugeot were using multi wired coded soleniods in 93)
obivously if your car has the keypad immobilser you will know where this is - if it is the remote alarm immobilser the reciever is in the over head consol near the interior front light
